A long driveway winds through woods before emerging to unveil a stone house nestled into the pastoral landscape of White Post, Virginia. The big reveal, though, happens at the home’s threshold.
“The front door is centered on a peak in the Blue Ridge Mountains,” says the husband, a retired business owner. “When you walk in, your eyes go straight back to the mountain view. It pulls you in.”
That view proved irresistible when the then-Winchester residents were searching for an idyllic site on which to build their retirement home. The couple purchased 155 acres in Clarke County, land once belonging to Long Branch, a 200-year-old house, and farm. They then reassembled a team—architect Page Carter, designers José Solís and Paul Sherrill and landscape architect Richard Arentz, all of whom had collaborated on a nearby renovation project for friends—to create a home that would take full advantage of its bucolic surroundings.
Simplicity served as the guiding principle. An image of a restored convent in the South of France, with a plain façade and repetitive window openings, started a conversation about the exterior look. The traditional, rectangular-structure farmhouses dotting the local terrain influenced the design too. As Page Carter reveals, “We morphed French Country with the architectural firm of Clarke County.”
Removing an existing house made way for the spacious new abode, clad in locally sourced limestone. “Many historic houses here are stone,” notes Carter, whose firm Carter + Burton Architecture is based in nearby Berryville, Virginia. “We wanted to connect to the vernacular of the county.”
Capitalizing on the southern panorama of fields and mountains was the primary goal. Carter’s asymmetric plan, laid out on an east-west axis, maximizes the light and views in spaces the owners use the most. The breakfast area, family room (or “keeping room” as the team dubbed it) and kitchen—lined with windows and French doors—extend across the scenic, south-facing rear. The grand living room stretches from front to back. The dining room and office overlook the woods in front. “We considered the natural landscape elements and tied the plan to what was there,” explains Carter. “We worked from the outside in and from the inside out.”
Arentz’s landscape plan enhances the site’s natural beauty with an allée of hawthorn trees on one side of the house, a pool bordered in stone on the other and gardens teeming with flowers and herbs.
Upstairs along the back of the house, the master suite and another bedroom—claimed by the couple’s 25-year-old daughter when she’s back from school in California—offer stunning mountain views. A study and two guest rooms line the front. The lower level includes recreation spaces, a home gym, a catering kitchen and a guest suite, the preferred roost of another grown daughter and her family.
Carter, Solís, and Sherrill put their heads together on the interior-architecture details. The floorboards and wall planks were milled in part from walnut trees cleared from the property prior to construction. The windows are unpainted sapele. “There is a bareness, almost a monastic quality,” says Solís of the finishes. “The materials feel very honest.”
For the couple, the move from a Georgian-style abode in Winchester to a bright country house meant the chance to start fresh with furnishings. “They had a traditional home and wanted to move into a more timeless style, with very simple lines,” explains Solís.
Sherrill adds, “The landscape is a powerful thing. We didn’t want the interiors to compete with it.”
Taking a pared-down approach, the design duo chose low-profile furnishings that do not obstruct the views and covered them in richly textured fabrics, within a serene, monochromatic scheme. “The interiors are country with a refined elegance,” notes Sherrill. “You definitely don’t feel like you’re on Park Avenue, but there’s a modern elegance about them.”
The dining room teeters between the two style worlds. Paneled walls and a bare floor mix with a dramatic glass-droplet-and-bronze chandelier. The metal repeats throughout the house, from the entry hall’s hanging lanterns to the master bedroom’s window-treatment rods. “Each room has its own feel, but the overall look is very uniform,” notes Solís.
The architect and designers worked with Poliform | sagartstudio to execute their vision for a sleek, open kitchen. Windows won out over upper cabinets, while lower drawers fill the storage void. A walnut feature wall adds visual warmth and conceals a bar on its reverse side.
The couple now delights in sharing their home’s spectacular setting. “The view is why we have this house,” says the wife, who says she “cooks all the time” for visiting family and friends. “We have dinner parties and open the French doors. It brings the outside in—which was our whole emphasis.”

When an avid equestrian purchased acreage in a coveted Virginia Hunt Country location adjacent to the late Bunny Mellon’s estate, she hired architect Thomas Beach and landscape architect Barry W. Starke to design a 3,000-square-foot home and horse farm on the site, comprised of 500 acres of open pastureland.
“It was originally intended as a guesthouse,” says Beach. “The homeowner wanted a one-bedroom dwelling with stables beneath it, so I suggested a fresh interpretation of a historic bank barn, whereby you walk into the upper level, which would have been used for hay and grain storage, but can also walk around to the lower level where livestock would’ve been kept. So the main living space is for the homeowner’s use and beneath it stall for horses.”
Beach, who is deeply knowledgeable about the vernacular architecture of rural Virginia, carried his concept past the architectural plans and into the building materials, which are authentic to the old bank-barn look. Shiplap siding of painted fir and natural stone clad the exterior, while sliding track-and-pulley barn doors adorn the front entry and side window. Indigenous fieldstone was gathered on site and stacked to create low walls that flank the flagstone ramp leading up to the home’s entrance.
Inside, Beach combined rustic elements with more contemporary features such as a state-of-the-art kitchen and bathrooms. “The homeowner wanted an east-facing glass wall for ample light and to enjoy the views,” Beach notes. “But we also used vertical tongue-and-groove painted planks for the walls and salvaged reclaimed oak timber columns and beams throughout. The hardware is hand-crafted to emulate what would have been there historically.”
Early in the project, the owner tapped designer Marlene Dennis to decorate the interiors. She worked in tandem with Beach on cabinetry design and the selection of kitchen and bath materials and other finishes. As a complementary backdrop to the reclaimed-oak timbers, Dennis chose white walls and trim, then contrasted them with rich, espresso-stained hickory flooring, wide-planked and laid on the diagonal. Sections of diagonal flooring are framed to delineate each area.
As the guest house came together, the owner fell in love with it and before long decided to make it the property’s main house—a retreat from her busy life and career in DC. Guest accommodations would be included in an additional barn on the site, also designed by Beach. He and Starke collaborated on this and other outbuildings—as well as an Olympic-sized riding ring, spring-fed lake and staff quarters—that would support the activities of the farm, home to about two dozen horses.
When the main house neared completion, Dennis had a timbered, two-story, open-plan space to furnish. “I wanted the furniture to be equal in strength to the architecture,” says the designer. “Big, solid pieces with details; nothing small or fussy. The fact that the homeowner is an equestrian also informed my design—as did the breathtaking views.”
Against the canvas of crisp white and rustic wood, Dennis explains, “I worked with shades of brown and select greens for furnishings. It’s about creating a peaceful, cohesive space that doesn’t compete with the outside. The deeper, darker browns also add a level of sophistication and speak to the contemporary nature of the home.”
Since the owner loves to host dinner parties, Dennis designed a custom, 14-foot-long dining table that seats 20. “The desk in the adjacent office is similar in width and height, and can be pulled in for even larger groups,” says the designer, who selected leather dining chairs and wingback host chairs upholstered in wool plaid. A huge, wrought-iron chandelier imparts a chic yet rugged vibe.
The living area is split into two seating arrangements. A trio of tailored-leather sofas gathers around a large X-motif coffee table, while four club chairs circle a drum table to accommodate more intimate gatherings. Accent pillows mix equestrian-inspired fabrics and patterns.
“Even in the kitchen, we wanted space for entertaining,” says Dennis. “The island, with its leather bar chairs and reclaimed-wood top, is the perfect place for a glass of wine and dinner for a small group.”
For days when the homeowner is looking to be quiet and cozy, sliding barn doors on both living levels can seal off space. “We added the sliding barn doors for privacy in either the office/den or the bedroom,” says Beach. “It’s just the kind of thing you’d see in an old bank barn—dividing the grain room from hay storage, for example.”
The homeowner, delighted with her weekend retreat, spends her time on site riding, relaxing in solitude and entertaining with the rolling countryside all around. Her thoughtfully designed second home turns out to be exactly what she wanted.

At a rocky outcropping on the edge of Whitehall Bay near Annapolis, a panoramic vista encompasses the open waters of the Chesapeake in the distance. There’s a sense of drama on this windswept spot, where expansive water and choppy waves lure sailors itching to race.
While designing a client’s house nearby, Marta Hansen was captivated by this postcard setting. The architect, who had been looking for a waterfront site where she could design and build a home for herself and her husband, investigated a “for sale” sign one day—and discovered one that fit the bill perfectly.
“I design mainly waterfront houses and I’ve seen all types of ‘waterfront,’” she says. “When I saw this, I said, ‘It doesn’t get any better.’ It faces south, which I had wanted, it offers privacy and it’s actually on the water.”
Sandwiched between the bay and a swath of wetlands, the 1.3-acre property came with permitting requirements. Fortunately, the previous owner had been granted a variance 10 years back for a small shack, so Hansen was allowed to replace that ramshackle structure with another one as long as its footprint remained small.
She conceived a house covering only 1,000 square feet of land, but rising three-and-a-half stories to provide the desired space and take advantage of the views. An inlet on one side creates a pretty beachfront; on the other, a vacant lot that Hansen and her husband also purchased separates the site from its neighbor.
The architect envisioned a style she calls “classicism with maritime references” for the new, 3,500-square-foot abode. Hardy cement board-and-batten-style siding, a metal roof and a cedar shingle-clad stair tower reminiscent of a lighthouse conjure a nautical feel, while a traditional roofline, ornamental columns and white siding and trim convey a classic aesthetic. A two-car garage connects to the house via a breezeway.
Inside, 11-foot ceilings make the interiors feel large and airy. A wall of black modular shelving by Saah Furniture bisects the open main floor, extending the length of the house and separating the open kitchen, dining and living areas from the entry hall, stairwell, and Hansen’s small home office. The move creates both small and large spaces. “It’s like a symphony,” the architect says. “Some parts are loud and some are quiet. It amplifies your experience.”
The shelves house an enormous collection of books belonging to Hansen’s husband, a retired philosophy professor. Large niches in the shelf system display canvases by a favorite artist, Jeremy Mann, in the living/dining area as well as on the other side of the wall near the front door, where a section is also equipped with hooks that keep jackets and bags at the ready for quick jaunts outdoors.
A wall of windows curves to frame water views on two sides of the living area; the kitchen anchors the other end of the room. “I tried to make it less kitchen-like since it’s all one big space,” Hansen notes. “There is no upper cabinets and storage is all along the [shelf] wall.” Extending into the kitchen area, the bookshelves frame a black Jenn-Air refrigerator, chosen to blend with the black-painted shelving and adjacent cabinetry. Peripheral counters and a backsplash of richly veined quartzite top white cabinets. In another nod to classicism, Hansen positioned ornate marble corbels found at In Home Stone at the base of the island, which is topped with black granite.
A wide opening to the hallway frames the staircase. Designed by Hansen, “the stair rail is an abstraction of the wetland reeds,” she explains. Made of gracefully bent, welded steel, it extends up all three flights of stairs, curving gently at each landing. Complementary orb-shaped metal chandeliers by Hubbardton Forge blend into the design; Hansen purchased four and hung them so one graces each floor beside the open stairwell.
Throughout the project, Hansen applied contrast for effect. Outside, the weathered-cedar deck and pergola are juxtaposed with ornate, white-painted columns. Inside, black shelving and white walls form a neutral backdrop to colorful Persian rugs, strong-hued artwork and ornamental stained glass—found at auction—that adorns the windows near the stairs. Even the stairwell, Hansen says, “borrows from modernism using big sheets of glass, but has grids that offer classical scale and definition.”
The furniture is an eclectic combination of styles and eras. “I gravitate toward classics by famous modern architects,” Hansen observes. “I mixed those with classical pieces. What they all have in common is fundamental qualities of design—balance, harmony, scale, proportion, color.” In the living area, a Barcelona chair by Mies van der Rohe is paired with a Chesterfield sofa, while a contemporary hoop light by Kovacs hangs overhead.
The second floor houses the master and guest suites, and the third is a family room. Hansen outfitted the fourth-floor loft, what she calls “the top of the lighthouse,” with a barrel-vaulted ceiling of dark-stained beadboard reminiscent of the hull of a ship. In lieu of an attic, this level—a man cave that features her husband’s extensive guitar collection and workout equipment—also provides extra storage.
Ample windows at each level reveal astounding—and ever-changing—bay vistas. “Each floor has a different view,” Hansen marvels. “As you get higher, the ground disappears and it really feels like you’re on a ship. I find it amazing.”

The home should be the treasure chest of living,” the modernist Le Corbusier once wrote.
This insightful nugget would likely have resonated with one couple preparing to design and build a new home in Bethesda. Both CEOs who frequently travel for work, they envisioned a holistic refuge for their family of four that would cosset their way of life.
“We wanted it to feel like a resort so we wouldn’t have to leave to get that feeling of a vacation,” says the wife. They also wanted space for entertaining large groups and, she adds, “enough storage to keep everything behind closed doors—clean lines and no clutter.”
The team assembled to design and build this Shangri La embraced their clients’ requests wholeheartedly. Architects George T. Myers and Mark Kaufman, designer Sophie Prévost, landscape designer Joel Hafner and builder Phil Leibovitz collaborated from start to finish, delivering such five-star amenities as a gym concealed behind frosted glass and a pool with a swim-up bar.
After the couple purchased a compact lot in a stately Bethesda neighborhood, they started by reviewing several of GTM’s existing floor plans. “We combined different elements from each into a new custom plan that met the clients’ goals,” says Kaufman.
Avowed modernists, the owners made modifications to the classic design for a more streamlined, pared-down whole. Instead of a stone exterior, they opted for gray stucco. Window mullions and a custom door with bands of mahogany and glass emphasize horizontal lines. “We removed some of the traditional visual cues and went with less decorative trim on the interior,” Kaufman notes.
The “distilled center-hall colonial,” as he calls it, ushers guests into a foyer flanked by living and dining rooms. It leads to an open kitchen and family room rimmed on the back by walls of glass. The lower level features a great room, an arts-and-crafts room, a gym and a bunkroom that sleeps the owners’ two young daughters plus four friends for overnights. Meanwhile, both executives can tend to business in his-and-her offices without leaving the house.
Prévost, who designed two previous homes for the couple, considered furniture plans and color schemes early on. “They wanted something bright, fresh and elegant—but not ostentatious,” she says. “They want to come home to a very Zen space, but one that doesn’t take itself too seriously.”
As the wife recalls, the palette arose during a discussion about the “beachy” resort concept. “One of my favorite colors is aqua,” she reflects. This sparked an overall scheme of tranquil blues, crisp white and subtle silver—along with glass accents—a palette that evokes glints of sunlight sparkling on azure shores. (One exception is the husband’s top-floor study—decked out in dark woods and clubby leather.)
Prévost blended streamlined, modern furniture with unique lighting and bold art in every space. “It’s important to mix materials and textures, especially when we stick to a theme of color,” she explains. In the dining room, a custom walnut table is an organic oasis in a sea of blue. The living room’s pale yellow palette offers the perfect counterweight. Christian Liaigre sofas upholstered in leather and linen speak more to comfort than a formality. Translucent sheers, she adds, “have a nice little shimmer.”
A playful, casual attitude prevails in the kitchen and family room. A Patricia Urquiola sofa upholstered in cozy wool, says Prévost, “is like an island” that harbors the entire family for TV viewing. Folding doors lead to a porch with retractable screens. When everything is open, guests can meander out to the pool as though they were at a resort in Bimini—not Bethesda. Designed by Kaufman and Hafner for carefree living, the entire space is paved in cast-stone pavers, with swaths of faux turf to add color and tickle bare feet.
No resort is complete without a spa—and this property’s awaits in the master bath, which features a double shower and cocoon-like tub. Simplicity also reigns in the owners’ bedroom, where oversized pendants and a Gene Davis painting enliven the tranquil mood.
No doubt, a holistic approach contributed to the project’s success. “We all started as a team from day one,” Prévost says. “It’s important for things to connect so that all the pieces are part of the same whole. There should be an aesthetic and a language that flow, inside and out.”
The ultimate test came when the family moved in, just one year after they signed the builder contract. “Every day when I walk through the door, there’s a beautiful sense of peace and joy,” says the wife. “It’s like a big sigh of relief. The home really is our refuge.”
