Modern makeover 36 In his prime years of practice, architect Edward Durell Stone achieved acclaim with designs including the original Museum of Modern Art, in New York, the Kennedy Center, in Washington, D.C.—and the Charlottesville residence known as Stone’s Throw. Built in 1952, the home recently underwent a historically respectful renovation. We take a look inside the streamlined masterpiece.

Back to nature 45 A local graphic artist wanted a place in the country to live, work, meditate, and garden. With a keen eye for design and a desire to live sustainably, she tapped Hays + Ewing Design Studio to create her sculptural, super-efficient Nelson County home.

Recently retired and looking forward to a full life—and a full house— a couple builds a golden-years dream dwelling. Now, their three boys and their significant others are always welcome at the couple’s secluded, elegant home near Keswick.

Charlottesville’s 18th- and 19th-century architecture can be a wonder to behold. Prominent expressions of the latter, of course, are the Thomas Jefferson-designed Rotunda and pavilions on the Lawn. But the city and its neighboring counties also display an impressive range of newer buildings, from the early- to mid-20th century right up to the present day. Examples of this architecture and design fill the pages of this magazine, from a 1952 modern masterpiece by the renowned Edward Durell Stone to the 2018 home by Charlottesville’s own Hays + Ewing Design Studio that you see on the cover—which is a modern masterpiece in its own right. As the city grows into a true metropolitan area, it’s important to keep in mind that while architectural history can be compartmentalized into discrete periods of the past, it is also being written right now.

JOHN HANCOCK PRODUCTIONS

On the first floor, large windows, exposed beams, and plenty of reclaimed wood create a bright space with an urban farmhouse feel. The open stairwell enhances air circulation throughout the townhome.

A

n interesting housing experiment called Lochlyn Hill is taking shape about two miles east of the Downtown Mall, on the Charlottesville-Albemarle line by Pen Park. Five custom builders currently have a stake in the development, which the promotional material is careful to describe as a neighborhood or community. The architectural portfolio includes country-style homes with wraparound porches, stuccoed boxes with a contemporary Southwestern feel (think Las Vegas or Phoenix), tidy clapboard structures in the Craftsman tradition, bungalows, and contemporary rowhouses.

The answer to whether this rather tightly bunched collection constitutes a pleasing mélange or a dog’s breakfast is in the eye of the beholder, and only time will tell whether the development ultimately functions as a neighborhood or community. Regardless, whoever lives there will pay handsomely for the privilege, from $420,000 to $834,000 as of mid-April.

Falling roughly in the middle of that range are six townhomes by Charlottesville’s Stony Point Design Build. Standing in an east-facing row, the residences have oversized windows overlooking much of the development, which, when complete, will include 210 homes. The unit I toured is impressively appointed, with reclaimed oak floors, a kitchen with a Wolf range and high-end Kitchenaid appliances, a two-car garage opening directly into a big mudroom, a full-sized elevator, and a master suite with rolling barn doors concealing a large bathroom with heated stone floors. George and Jane Jetson would be comfortable in this high-tech nest. Imagine you are falling asleep in your kingsize bed, and you have to get up early the next day. “Alexa, turn on the shower at 6:30am set to 99 degrees,” you command. Rest easy—the water will be running and waiting for you in the morning.

The unit is highly efficient, with a HERS (Home Energy Rating System) rating of 55; by comparison, a standard new C-VILLE ABODE

home that meets code would score 100. Solid, tight construction contributes to the townhome’s efficiency, as does the design. The open-riser staircase forms an interior shaft, above which a skylight can be opened, promoting thermal air circulation throughout the house—like the home prices in Charlottesville, hot air rises.

While there are many things to recommend this dwelling, the third floor trumps them all. Perched high like an osprey’s nest, the room is the inverse of a man cave, although it does have a gas fireplace, enough space for a small fridge to chill beverages, a big wall-mounted TV, and easy access to an outdoor deck for searing meat on the grill. Tall glass doors fold back, the vertical panes stacking like playing cards and disappearing from sight. Framed by the open doorway, the expansive sky and mountains in the east present a mesmerizing view. If you sit on the couch against the west wall and take in the scene, no other house is within sight.

But what do you call the assemblage of closely packed houses, streets, and greenspace below? Is it a development, community, or neighborhood? Do you care?

Maybe it’s just time to close the thesaurus, ignore the marketing lingo, and take a deep breath.

While there are many things to recommend this dwelling, the third floor trumps them all. Perched high like an osprey’s nest, the room is the inverse of a man cave.

With lights glowing in its recessed base, the kitchen island appears to be floating above the floor.

Break it down Panorama Paydirt makes “black gold” from city leaves

By Erika Howsare

C

STEPHEN BARLING

ompost isn’t a glamorous business, but then again—if it helps you hang onto a big, beautiful piece of land in Albemarle County—maybe it is. The 20-or-so acres that Steve Murray uses to produce compost and mulch at Panorama Paydirt, near Earlysville, have been one way to keep the 850-acre farm in the family. “I raised cattle since I was a child,” he says. “To save the farm, I needed other sources of revenue.”

He found one in 1996, when he took a contract with the City of Charlottesville to accept the leaves it collected each fall. He borrowed a machine that could turn the piles of leaves as they decomposed. “We made every mistake possible that first year,” he says. But he kept at it and, over time, landscaping companies began to drop

their leaves and yard waste, too, eventually contributing twice the volume the city does.

These days, local gardeners are very familiar with the bags of Panorama Paydirt compost available at garden centers: black, crumbly stuff known for its happy effect on all manner of growing plants. Murray and a small team—mostly other family members—keep the business humming, from the time when trucks arrive full of material to when they leave again full of “black gold” compost or highquality mulch. “We take in around 18,000 cubic yards of material per year,” says Murray, “and we’ve sold out of compost 20 out of 22 years.”

The basic recipe for making Panorama Paydirt goes like this: Arrange leaves into windrows (long caterpillar-shaped piles about five feet high). Add turkey litter, which is high in nitrogen. Add water to maintain a 60 percent moisture level. Turn frequently to introduce oxygen, which supports microorganisms that feed on the nitrogen, break down the carbon in the leaves, and reproduce like crazy. As they do, they create heat—lots of heat. The temperature inside the windrows at Panorama, measured with a giant thermometer as long as your leg, stays above 140 degrees for six weeks at a time.

“We’re in the microbe management business,” says Murray. Keeping the tiny creatures happy is what allows the whole process to thrive. As leaves break down, windrows shrink in size and need to be combined to keep the proper ratio of surface area to volume. “Ninety percent of the business is making piles,” jokes general manager Noah Bloom.

There are, actually, a few other steps—grinding, screening, bagging, delivering—and they all add up to a successful business that can make money on both ends.

Panorama reduces “compost miles” in the same way that local veggie farms reduce “food miles.” Starting with local waste materials, then creating a product that will go back into the local environment, makes for a closed loop—a different model than many commercial composts and mulches, which are shipped long distances before they reach the gardener at the end of the chain.

In this case, “sustainability” applies to a product and a local family farm which might otherwise have become a subdivision. Murray and his seven brothers grew up there; now Bloom and his wife Margaret, Murray’s niece, live on the land.

Says Murray, “It’s all about local.”

Mounded into windrows, the raw organic materials cure until they are ready to be sold as compost and mulch.

The temperature inside the windrows at Panorama, measured with a giant thermometer as long as your leg, stays above 140 degrees for six weeks at a time.

eslie and Rich Hock, a real estate agent and commercial pilot, respectively, live the way many of us can only dream of. In the garage beside their home at Eagle’s Nest Airpark, in Waynesboro, they stow their Beechcraft Bonanza, a singleengine four-seater. When they want to visit their daughter, they wing down to Austin, Texas. If Rich is craving crab cakes, he straps in for a round-trip to the Chesapeake Bay, picking up the goods from his favorite seafood restaurant, in Deltaville, Virginia.

“The joke is, ‘Oh, the $200 crab cake,’” Leslie says.

Life has been like this for the Hocks ever since they moved to the fly-in, fly-out community in 2001. But over time, they realized, they weren’t taking full advantage of the location of their home.

“We have 180-degree mountain views of the Blue Ridge, with the aviation activity in the foreground,” Leslie says. “If you’re an aviator, or you’re just into planes, it’s pretty cool.”

To improve these views—and make their home more comfortable and contemporary—they called on sister-and-brother design team Candace and Michael DeLoach, who have studios in Charlottesville and New York City, and Westhills Co. Builders, the local contractor that had built the house.

Candace DeLoach describes the original design as “all chopped up.”

“It was a very complicated layout with a lot of odd angles,” Michael DeLoach says. “We just felt like we wanted to clean up the space—make it feel more cohesive.”

“There was a screened-in porch in the back that had the best views, and I wanted to make the best use of that space,” Leslie Hock says. She adds that she also wanted better views from the kitchen, as well as an island there “where I could sit and work, and have a glass of wine when my work is done.”

The new vision came together quickly. The DeLoaches started designing in the fall of 2017, made a few adjustments before construction began, and the project wrapped in June 2018.

Today, the Hocks have a much-improved screenedin porch, which offers expansive views and clean construction, using 6-by-6-inch beams. The DeLoaches opted for natural materials, including cowhide and rattan. Glass subway tile, sourced from Artistic Tile, in New York, brightens up the kitchen. And the allimportant island—now nine feet long—has a unique granite top from Albemarle Countertop Co. “Leslie was very excited when we found this stone,” Michael says. “The finishing process is called leathering—it looks like a weathered piece of stone that was just carved out of the mountain.”

The Hocks now have the home they really wanted—even if they couldn’t fully envision it when the renovation started. Although Leslie has a new office, she confesses that she doesn’t use it often, opting instead to sit in the kitchen and work, her laptop propped on the island and the beautiful views spreading out in front of her.

Wonder wall An expansive pine façade melds beauty and functionality

By Joe Bargmann

T

here’s an air of mystery about the renovated third-floor apartment on the Downtown Mall. A wall of rough-sawn reclaimed white oak treated with bleaching oil runs nearly the entire length of the main room, interrupted only by the rectangular opening that accommodates the black-glass stovetop, kitchen sink, and counter space for food prep.

22

It’s a bold design feature, the materiality of which is complemented by the plank floors, also reclaimed white oak but smooth and stained slightly darker. Scanning the wall, a visitor can’t help but think, where is everything? The bathroom, pantry, dishwasher, cabinets, refrigerator, freezer, and drawers to hold silverware and cooking utensils? Also,

what about the HVAC ducts, utilities, and wiring that makes this place work?

Architect Jeff Bushman smiles slyly. He presses a section of the wall and a door pops open, revealing the fridge and freezer. I’m starting to get it. “Where’s the bathroom?” I ask. He nudges another panel. It unlatches with a click-click and swings open to a bright, spacious bathroom C-VILLE ABODE

is uninterrupted from the front, which overlooks the mall, to the back, which faces Water Street.

The staircase leading to the loft bedroom is made of perforated steel, a porous barrier separating the dining area near the rear of the apartment from the assemblage of living-room furniture up front. In the bedroom, six light wells open up the peaked ceiling, offering a leafy, eye-level view of tall oaks on the mall.

The thoroughly modern feel of the space runs counter to the historic nature of the building.

Constructed in 1843 at 118 E. Main St., it and its neighbor, 114 E. Main St., are the oldest structures on the mall. Bushman says the apartment building required “a deep, frame-up restoration,” but he was proud to have done it. “We stripped everything back to the bones, so you could see all the original brick,” he says. He points to the exposed red-brick wall beside the staircase that connects the small entry space and the main floor. “That, right there, is your truth wall,” he says. “It’s an important part of the story.”

The simplicity and uniformity of the wall enhance the other primary quality of the apartment, namely, openness.

with a glass-walled shower. “We needed the central wall to be functional,” says Bushman, of Charlottesville’s Bushman Dreyfus Architects.

“But we didn’t design it just to hide things. It fits with the clean, pared-down look we wanted.”

The lack of adornment—hardly a fixture is in sight—makes the space feel open and perhaps larger than it really is.

Sections of the wall open to reveal key elements of the apartment, such as the large bathroom. The view from the back to the front is uninterrupted.

SKYCLAD AERIAL

An Orange County farm for ready-made lawns By Erika Howsare

E

About 200 acres are covered in a fescue-bluegrass mix, which is harvested into 2-by-5-foot strips, then rolled and bundled for sale.

ver wonder where those Yodels-like rolls of grass come from that you’ve seen stacked on pallets or laid out in front of a newly built home? From a sod farm, of course. Growing and harvesting sod is a practice that thrives mainly out of sight (and out of mind). But in Orange County, Andy and Audrey Hutchison at Somerset Seed & Sod have been a go-to source in the instant-lawn trade for decades.

“My wife has been involved in the turf grass industry for 35 years or so,” says Andy, explaining how he came to be in the business. When he and his brother bought a large piece of land in the early 2000s, they knew they couldn’t make it pay by growing corn or soy, so they decided to try sod. Mostly serving landscape contractors, the business grew by word of mouth. Today, the Hutchisons tend about 200 acres of sod, selling roughly half of that each year.

Growing sod is a 12- to 18-month process, beginning around the first of September, when the C-VILLE ABODE

Hutchisons seed their acreage with a fescue-bluegrass mix. “We use a fair amount of organic fertilizer, and typically we’ll mow it four or five times before it goes into dormancy in the winter,” says Hutchison. The following summer, crews trim the sod frequently to keep it about three inches high, so that it’ll be ready to harvest when fall arrives.

An automatic sod harvester cuts the turf in 2-foot-by-5-foot strips and bundles it into rolls.

To replace the soil that leaves the field with the product, Hutchison grows cover crops and tills them in, reintroducing organic matter.

Growing sod is a 12- to 18-month process, beginning around the first of September, when the Hutchisons seed their acreage with a fescuebluegrass mix.

As with any agricultural enterprise, there are environmental considerations. Hutchison prides himself on not installing plastic netting at the time of seeding, which some companies use to hold the sod rolls together. “It takes more time to grow the product,” he says, “because I’m relying on the root system and not on netting.” The method also keeps plastic from going into the ground at the point of installation.

Hutchison says his retail business usually picks up in the spring, but the best season to lay down sod is actually fall, at the time you’d normally quit mowing. “In the fall throughout the winter, sod will establish its root system with little to no irrigation,” he says. Prep the area like you would for a veggie garden: pull weeds, till, and add some compost. Next comes the sod, unfurled like green carpeting and as satisfying as a fresh coat of house paint.

Dark features such as the dining table, bar walls, and cabinetry hardware accent the room, where white stone, tile, and painted surfaces dominate.

Heart of the townhome A bright kitchen anchors a modern rowhouse By Joe Bargmann

T

he Charlottesville woman grew up in California wine country—St. Helena, to be precise. Her home, where she lived until she was 16, had a farmhouse feel: open, airy, and not fussy in the least. It was a place for family and friends to gather and literally see one another, without too many walls getting in the way.

She and her husband, a Charlottesville developer—working with interior designer Jeannette Andamasaris, a principal of Brooklyn-based Figure studio—have created just such a space on the first floor of their three-floor townhome. It is one of many standing cheek-to-jowl along the railroad tracks east of the Downtown Mall. Made of white-painted brick, the couple’s home is classic and fresh, intentionally evoking an urban rowhouse, with large south-facing windows opening up a façade that might otherwise feel monolithic.

The front door opens to reveal a single volume, with a high ceiling and a sight line directly to the C-VILLE ABODE

large kitchen island, a rectangle formed by three slabs of white stone. It is leathered marble, the wife explains, and when you run your hand over it you can feel the texture created by the slightly raised gray veins. The surface is also porous and not too shiny—a polished finish would exude a certain formality, the opposite of what the couple wants.

“There are going to be watermarks, wine stains, splatters of tomato sauce,” she says. “Fine with me! This is a home, not a museum.”

A sink with dark matte fixtures punctures the marble, which connects visually with the material that forms another rectangle, this one affixed

“There are going to be watermarks, wine stains, splatters of tomato sauce,” she says. “Fine with me! This is a home, not a museum.”

to the rear wall and concealing the exhaust hood above a Wolf six-burner stove. Above concrete countertops, white subway tile climbs all the way to the ceiling and surrounds two large windows.

The same tile comprises the backsplash of the bar adjacent to the kitchen island, a design choice that connects the cooking space to the bar, which transitions into the dining area.

The latter is simply a dark wood table with six chairs, subtly set off from the kitchen by a long, tubular light fixture that hangs from the ceiling and has an industrial look. The move from the dining area to the living space, in the front of the room, is also seamless.

“We just really wanted an open space with maximum light,” says the wife, who, with her husband, has a nearly 3-year-old daughter and three dogs.

“We love to cook as a family, and sit down and eat as a family, and just hang out with the dogs.”

And for all of that, they have the perfect space.

Diane’s harvesting tips • Snip basil from branches in the center of the plant to encourage regrowth and a bushy habit.

• When harvesting parsley, loose-leaf lettuce, kale, and other greens, remove the big outer leaves first. Leave one to two inches of growth at the base so the plants will regenerate.

• Head lettuces will usually grow another head after harvest when one to two inches of stem are left.

• Thin carrot, turnip, and beet seedlings to two to three inches apart when the tops are four inches tall.

These baby root crops are great for salad toppings, and those left in the ground will have room to grow.

• Grow peas just for the shoots and flowers, which have a concentrated pea flavor. Cut the shoots/ tendrils to the first set of leaves when the plant is about eight inches tall. This will also encourage branching out and the growth of more shoots.

• With summer squash, harvest some of the male flowers for stuffing in the kitchen. You can easily distinguish the male flower because it does not have the small fruit growing at the base.

The chef’s garden has grown from a few herb beds into a small farm that provides a diverse bounty.

Hyperlocal

At Pippin Hill, the produce is just outside the kitchen door By Cathy Clary

C

hef Ian Rynecki and gardener Diane Burns modestly refer to their creation at Pippin Hill Farm & Vineyards as a kitchen garden, but the result of their collaboration is nothing less than the ideal template for farm-to-table cooking.

Before making his way to Albemarle County in 2017, Rynecki had climbed a ladder with a basket on his back to harvest from a rooftop garden in New York City, cruised the abundant farmers’ markets of San Francisco (where he worked at two Michelin-starred restaurants), and plucked fresh ingredients from the beds outside Connecticut’s Farm Restaurant, where he was chef de cuisine. The vegetable and herb gardens at Pippin Hill, managed by Burns since 2016, were a big draw for his move to the winery.

Over the past three years, Burns has expanded Pippin Hill’s collection of herb beds into a micro-farm. Vegetable and fruit plots embrace the tasting room and spill down

the hill to a deer-proofed garden of raised beds. This year, she has added cut flowers to the mix, and has been managing a flock of chickens and overseeing a pollenator meadow to support the winery’s first beehives.

Rynecki and Burns plan the menu and the garden together each January. Recent additions include Niseko, a small white turnip with exceptional greens, red and white Kiogi beet, and dwarf gray sugar peas for shoots and flowers, all of which can be sown in spring and fall.

Burns also grows one of her favorite combinations of ornamental and edible flowers, African blue basil and Little Gem marigolds.

In its abundant immediate array of edibles—from flowers to fruits, vegetables to honey, eggs to herbs—and in its serendipitous collaboration between chef and gardener, Pippin Hill offers fresh local cuisine and gives us all a garden to dream of.

C-VILLE ABODE

O

By Erika Howsare Photography by Stephen Barling

n a quiet street in Charlottesville sits a not-tooeyecatching house, its plain brick façade hidden from passersby by a screen of trees. Yet this is far from an ordinary rancher. In fact, it serves as a connection to a wider, more cosmopolitan world, and to an optimistic time in architectural history, when the International Style was bringing construction into the modern age. The house was designed by Edward Durell Stone, a celebrity architect who later dreamed up New York’s Museum of Modern Art (the original building, on West 53rd Street, which has expanded considerably over the years) and the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. The Charlottesville home, known as Stone’s Throw, is one of the city’s true hidden gems, created by the U.S. architect whose prominence was second only to Frank Lloyd Wright’s, according to a 1958 Architectural Forum article.

Based in New York, Stone was commissioned to design the house in 1952 by a UVA doctor and his wife, Charles and Gladys Frankel. Though it’s not known exactly how the couple chose Stone or what they hoped he would produce, they evidently found it pleasing—or, at least, Mrs. Frankel did. Stone’s Throw served as her home for 64 years.

The structure has all the hallmarks of its historical moment. Elegant and minimal, with a single story split into two levels, it delivers drama while eschewing traditional ornamentation. It’s organized around connections to the outdoors, with two smaller bedrooms opening onto a private courtyard, and an entire rear wall made of glass, creating an uninterrupted view of the backyard from the master bedroom and the primary living space.

Yet in 2016, when Curry and Andre Uflacker bought the house, its modernist design conflicted with many of the finishes and furnishings.

“There was a lot of heavy carpeting and silk drapes,” says Curry. Stone, who died in 1978, had originally specified contemporary furniture in his plans—Eames chairs, Herman Miller desks— but the Frankels’ traditional furniture and wallpaper made for an uneasy match with his clean, horizontal lines.

Meanwhile, the central courtyard had lost its connection to the sky with the addition of a translucent roof. “I think we all said, ‘This is the first thing that needs to go,’” remembers Joe Wheeler, the architect hired by the Uflackers to envision a renovation. “That was not Edward Durell Stone’s intention to have that closed in.”

Despite its anachronistic aspects, the house’s character captured the hearts of architect and clients alike. “I stumbled across it and immediately fell in love,” says Curry. “The second you walk into it, you really feel it has been designed by an architect.” For his part, Wheeler relished CONTINUED ON PAGE 39

the opportunity to enter a dialogue with an architect he admired. “I’m a big fan of Edward Durell Stone,” he says.

“His houses are his best work.”

Besides uncovering the courtyard, the renovation’s major goals were to update finishes, modernize bathrooms, and reconfigure the kitchen. The original owners’ disinterest in cooking was reflected in the way the galley kitchen was hidden from the living areas. Wheeler would relocate it to a more prominent spot, combining it with the dining area.

Wheeler appreciated both Stone’s aesthetic achievement and his innovation. “You have to respect the original house,” he says, adding that he admires how Stone orchestrated an experience. “You come through the door, and there’s compression and release. When you walk in you’re looking into the house from an upper vantage point; then you come down the steps and enter this higher volume.”

For Curry Uflacker, all the stylistic choices the renovation demanded boiled down to this question: “What would Stone do today?” Uninterested in living in a time capsule, she chose to look for finishes and fixtures that are contemporary now but harmonize with the original structure. The kitchen cabinets, for example, are very minimal, white, and free of hardware, while gray granite countertops blend with the gray cork flooring newly installed throughout the house. It’s a kitchen that completely defers to the view through the adjacent wall of glass.

C-VILLE ABODE

A custom dining table slides under one end of the island to become more intimate for family meals, or pulls out to entertain a crowd. Where the galley kitchen used to be, Wheeler designed a mudroom.

Bathrooms are minimal and white, with the master bathroom displaying a specific homage to Stone: a panel of glass printed with a pattern mimicking one found at Stone’s New York townhouse. A new corridor for storage separates the master bathroom and bedroom, while along one wall of the bedroom, built-in cabinetry—again, sans hardware—forms a subtle geometric pattern all in white.

From their bed, the Uflackers can raise the blinds on the floor-to-ceiling windows and watch the view reveal itself.

Though it was crucial to remove the heavy drapes along the house’s rear wall, Wheeler says they did serve an important function. “It’s hard to have an all-glass house without the ability to get privacy and protect the house from direct sun,” he says. He replaced the drapes with automated blinds. These stow away invisibly when not needed, but in the afternoon, can be lowered to shade the master bedroom, kitchen and living areas, and the wood-paneled library.

After two years of renovation, the Uflackers learned they’d be moving for professional reasons and put Stone’s Throw on the market. Curry says they’ll miss having the chance to spend more years in the house they updated. “We use every single room; there’s no dead space,” she says. “I think there’s a perfect balance of form and function.”

The renovation brought back the bones of the house and accentuated its primary organizational idea, which is to connect all of the rooms to the outdoors. Two smaller bedrooms open onto a courtyard, and an entire rear wall made of glass gives an uninterrupted view of the backyard from the master bedroom and the primary living space.

STEPHEN BARLING

Danny and Katie MacNelly, UVA grads who now practice architecture in Richmond, designed their weekend house to perch on a bluff over the James River. It’s conceived as a series of separate volumes, arranged in a rough semicircle “like rocks around the campfire,” says Danny. Buckingham slate and black-stained cedar set a cool minimalist tone, and the house is designed to accommodate three growing boys and plenty of guests.

Wadlington residence

JAMES EWING OTTO

The house that Jim Tuley, a modernist architect and UVA professor, designed for the Wadlington family in 1972 is clearly a cousin of Stone’s Throw in terms of its multi-level layout and south-facing wall of glass. And it, too, housed the same family, the Wadlingtons, for many decades. Architect Cecilia Nichols of Formwork designed a bigger, better kitchen for the house in 2003, adding a window so the family could look out over their garden while they ate.—E.H.

But after a while, she wanted to get back to being her own boss, and to find a way to spend more time in the country, gardening, hiking, communing with nature, and meditating.

She envisioned a minimal, modern, energy-efficient home with a studio, situated on plenty of land to grow her own food. Armed with sketches of her dream home, and a conviction to live sustainably, she called on a former client, architect Chris Hays, of Hays + Ewing Design Studio. When Hays learned what she wanted, he thought immediately of builder Peter Johnson, and the collaboration began.

“It was a very dynamic process,” Johnson says.

“The client had strong ideas for the home, and Chris was quick to draw them. I’ve worked with him many times. When he draws out his plans, even in preliminary stages, he puts them into CAD so they are easy to envision.”

The client also had a nice chunk of property, 94 acres with a perfect spot to build. “It was a house to be located on top of a hill with a nice view out to the west,” Hays says. “We were looking at a smallish house, but on the other hand, she was interested in getting up high to see the property.”

All indicators pointed to a vertical space. “We went through a few ideas before we came up with something we were excited about,” Hays says.

“We came up with a third floor that she could use to meditate, and also look out at the land and all of the wildlife.”

After a few design iterations, Hays and the client agreed that they’d devised a good scheme.

“She said that it really felt right for the place, which is one of the greatest compliments we could get,” Hays says.

Building a modern dream home The fundamental idea of verticality was reinforced by the client’s desire to install a radiantheat oven that can also be used to cook. Made

by Tulikivi, Finland’s largest stone producer, the soapstone-clad unit is so large and heavy that it requires its own concrete footing and foundation. It also contributes to the home’s energy efficiency. A single firing with split wood provides 12 hours of heat.

For practical purposes, the Tulikivi is largely redundant—ample energy for heating is provided by solar panels on the south-facing portion of the roof (more on that later). But the oven is quite beautiful, a tall rectangle of mid-gray stone with a cylindrical stainless-steel flue that shoots up through the open-plan home and exhausts through the roof.

“It has emotional and psychological benefits, in terms of the warming,” Hays says. “You also have a cooking compartment up above the main hearth, which has a glass door. From the bathroom, you can see out to the oven and the flames inside.”

Hays also designed the staircase to convey heat from the first floor to the third. This provides warmth throughout the house—including the studio on the second floor—when it’s cold outside, and when temperatures climb, windows on the top floor can be opened to let heat escape.

Now, about the roof. On a conventional home, the roof may simply be a cap on a box, but here it’s a key element of Hays’ design. From the south extremity of the structure, the roof climbs at an CONTINUED ON PAGE 51

Glass doors and floor-to-ceiling windows provide both access to a patio and great views. The open stairwell provides air circulation from the first floor floor to the third floor, where the owner meditates. Her workspace is located on the second floor.

“The central space is all enclosed in plywood. It’s like there’s a treehouse in the center of the house.”

On a conventional home, the roof may simply be a cap on a box, but here it’s a key element of the design, ultimately forming a porte cochere.

The third floor opens onto an outdoor deck that offers mountain views and a nice gathering spot. Fiber-cement panels cover the north exterior wall, contrasting in both color and texture with the red cedar siding on the east and west sides of the house.

angle to the top of the second floor; solar panels cover this part of the surface. After flattening out and reaching south, the roof drops more or less straight down, and then completes its zig-zagging journey with an L-shape that encloses the porte cochere, which also serves as the woodshed.

Viewed from the east or the west, the roof establishes the clean, modern feel of the home.

The rather simple exterior finishes—horizontal red cedar siding on the east and west walls, and rectangular fiber cement panels on the north and south—enhance this aesthetic, as do the plentiful (and large) windows.

Beneath the exterior cladding lies an envelope of thick foam slabs, which seal and insulate the structure. “We did blower and duct-blaster tests and were very pleased with the results,” Johnson says. “The house is tight.”

Inside, finishes selected by the client lend a natural feel. “I wanted to go really organic—oak floors, maple cabinetry, porcelain tiles,” she says.

“The central space is all enclosed in plywood.

It’s like there’s a treehouse in the center of the house. The counters are soapstone that was quarried right nearby the house.”

The client now has the country place she envisioned, with plenty of room for planting out-

doors. “My mom always said two things about me: My eyes are bigger than my stomach, and I always bite off more than I can chew,” she says.

“I guess that’s why I ended up with a one-anda-half-acre orchard and garden.”

The client just added chickens to the mix (“Oh, and I have to build a coop,” she says), and she plans on getting goats and honey-producing bee hives.

Her enthusiasm and energy are seemingly endless.

“It was a lot of fun working with her, because she cares a lot about design,” Hays says. “It was very much like a partnership. Peter, the builder, was also very invested to get things exactly right.

We were a good team.”

A family home The couple retired near Keswick, but the kids are always welcome

fter meeting in college, the couple got married and pursued their respective careers—she as a librarian and he as a patent attorney—living for many years in Delaware.

About two years ago, when the time came for them to retire, there was little question they’d end up near Keswick, specifically, on a piece of land connected to her mom and dad’s farm.

“I distinctly remember when I first came to visit her family,” says the husband. “I thought, wow, what a nice area. There’s a lot of nature, and yet it’s not far from Charlottesville.”

Many years ago, her parents had bought the land where the couple’s new home now stands to protect the views. But having a few acres to situate a house and having one built for you are

two very different things. “I had never worked with an architect—that’s just not me,” she says.

“I’m a librarian!”

Ah, but librarians are good at research, and after many hours of looking at architects’ websites, she discovered Charlottesville’s Peter LaBau of GoodHouse Design, which specializes in residential design. “I talked to Peter, and we had a comfortable rapport,” she says, adding that LaBau’s co-principal, Jessie Chapman, was also a key player in the project.

“We agreed on that point,” he says. “And my personal preference just happened to be to live in a house in the woods—so that’s what we have.”

The home lives up to its nickname, A Walk in CONTINUED ON PAGE 57 the Woods.

“It is a house designed to look like it evolved out of the site.”

The rooms on the main floor sit on the same level, easing transitions as one moves from one part of the house to the next.

A partial ceiling defines the kitchen and dining areas.

“

Because of the openness of the design and the large windows, there’s a feeling of being outside without having to go there.”

“It’s in the woods, but there’s a lot of light,” she says.

“Every morning I wake up and look outside, and the fields and the forest present different colors. It makes me want to go outside, but because of the openness of the design and the large windows, there’s a feeling of being outside without having to go there.”

Also, having grown up in the area, she had spent time in many local friends’ houses, historical ones that had been added onto over the years. “There were a lot of different levels, steps up or steps down into different rooms,” she says.

“I knew we didn’t want that—we want this to be our last house, so ease of movement from one room to the next was an important consideration.”

The rooms on the main floor sit on the same level, easing transitions as one moves from one space to the next. But the house isn’t uniformly horizontal. It presents three primary upper volumes—the garage, the bedroom wing, and the loft above the main living area. “We wanted enough space where, when everyone came to visit they could have some alone time and close a door,” he says.

Guest bedrooms on the first floor and in the loft accommodate frequent visits by the couple’s sons. “One is married, one is engaged, and one is dating,” she says. “No grandchildren yet—but we have plenty more room.”

Technical considerations Before construction began, LaBau and associate Victor Colom staked out the proposed position of the house. “So, we knew the direction the front of the house would be facing,” the husband says. “Peter is deep in thought. Finally, he says, ‘Wait a second. We need to rotate this whole thing 10 degrees to the right—that is the view you want.’”

C-VILLE ABODE

The couple agreed that the architect was right—just like he was about many other technical and design considerations. “It is a house designed to look like it evolved out of the site,” she says.

Because of that organic feel, the couple considered cladding the exterior in reclaimed pine or cedar. Then the husband asked colleagues at work about the materials. “They said, ‘Oh, the woodpeckers! You’re going to attract every one from miles around.’”

Also rejected was a roof made entirely of raised-seam metal, even though the couple both liked the sound of rain falling on such a surface. But after the husband visited a friend in North Carolina who had a home with a metal roof, and overhanging oak branches, the couple backed off of the idea. “When the acorns were falling, it sounded like gunshots going off,” he says.

Regardless of the roof (it’s shingled, by the way), the couple still loves the secluded feeling of living among so many trees. “It’s zoned rural, and it remains rural,” she says, noting that the closest neighbors are a quarter to a half mile away. “When the trees leaf out, you don’t see light from the neighbors’ houses at all.”

In the master bathroom, natural stone tiles pull together all the surfaces, including a painted vanity, built-in wood bench, and textured tile shower walls.

hristina Osheim distills a wealth of fine arts education and diverse influences into her ceramics. She studied at Minnesota’s St. Olaf College, the Rhode Island School of Design, and the Cranbrook Academy of Art before establishing her Charlottesville studio, Möbius Keramikk, at 1740 Broadway St. Her wheel-thrown objects (cups and tumblers) and items with stenciled patterns (plates and tiles) show great skill and originality. But her one-off cast pieces set her work apart.

“These objects—they are cast, but they are canvases,” says Osheim, a third-generation Norwegian-American. “My duty as an artist is to create patterns in color that highlight their threedimensionality.”

Hence the word Möbius in her studio name: It refers to the poem “Möbius Strip” by French surrealist Robert Desnos, and to the flat-but-

58

twisted loop associated with the infinity symbol as well as the transition from two to three dimensions.

Discovering her creations online or at events, customers have taken note, and orders pour in from across the United States all the way to Paris.

What do people see in her art? Modernism, surrealism, elegance and simplicity. These attributes stem from her Scandinavian roots, her education in sculpture, her time at Cranbrook (the “incubator” of mid-century modernism), and influences including director David Lynch, sculptor Louis Bourgeois, and assemblage artist Joseph Cornell.

A sense of playfulness is also evident. Osheim tells the story of once creating a ceramic chamber pot—a reference to Marcel Duchamp’s “Fountain,” a porcelain urinal submitted, but never displayed, at the 1917 Society of Independent Artists show in New York.

It’s difficult to sum up what makes Osheim’s ceramics so compelling. But a line on her website (mobiuskeramikk.com) gets close: “Her work explores the concepts of ‘high’ art in everyday objects with humor and intellect.”

We agree, and feel fortunate to have Osheim as part of Charlottesville’s arts community.—Joe Bargmann
