In the hillside just north of downtown Asheville NC is a steeply sloping site that required a creative solution to placing a multi story house that fit into the sloping hillside and provided access all around. The property is situation near the university and gardens, hiking paths weave throughout the area in a way that brings together the local community, mostly elderly and retirees. The house takes advantage of the deeply forested lot and surrounding area with large windows overlooking down into the forest. The home design accommodates for large dinner parties, also provides ample space for an art studio and music and entertainment.
