This 6,000 square foot design/build new residence of contemporary/transitional styling features natural building stone inside and out. Other interior finishes include African slate, cherry flooring, and custom cherry cabinets and millwork.

Special systems incorporated into the work include a reverse-osmosis water cleaning system to supply ultra-pure water for the built-in saltwater aquarium. An automatic emergency power system and large air-conditioned walk-in wine cellar are other unusual aspects of this project.

This 4,500 SF home, a modified Southern Living plan, was built in the Meadows subdivision of rural Manakin-Sabot.

The exterior features painted all-heart redwood siding, a spaced-board sheathed cedar shake roof, traditional wood railings, columned wood porch and divided-lite wood windows. Inside, three fireplaces are surrounded by stone and custom built mantels.

Heavy interior trim includes pilaster moldings with rosettes, multi-part crown, chair rails, and a library fitted with cherry-stained alder paneling and wainscot. Extensive sitework includes a wood deck, brick seat walls, and walkways.

SMBW Architects designed this spectacular residence, sitting atop a bluff overlooking the fall line into the James River. The 4,500 SF contemporary home features an exterior palette of cement plaster stucco, ground face block, mahogany siding, copper roofing, and Spanish cedar windows.

Interior finishes incorporate many natural materials extended in from the landscaping and exteriors, such as bluestone flooring and countertops, clear finished fir timber trusses with exposed wood deck ceilings and birch panels. The warmth of the natural material used is balanced with high-tech stainless appliances, cable rails, and minimalist detailing.

This 4,000 square foot country home incorporates numerous unique custom features. The traditional stucco exterior is complemented with board-and-batten siding and heavy timber post-and-beam porch construction. Stained concrete patios, master bedroom trellis and an outdoor fireplace highlight the exterior.

Inside, new millwork, doors and finishes are specifically detailed to blend harmoniously with numerous salvaged antique items incorporated into the new work. The resulting work is a new house which feels much like an old home.
