Muse Architects
Long-standing clients with a weekend home on 40 acres near Charlottesville wished to expand it into a retreat for hosting three generations of family members. Hired to renovate and enlarge the existing farmhouse and add a guest cottage, garage and pool, Muse Architects began by organizing the buildings toward the mountains, employing large windows, porches and terraces to frame the views. The work to the farmhouse encompassed a new kitchen, mudroom and porch with a master suite above. An accessibly designed guest cottage offers one-story living with two bedrooms and a kitchenette. Stained cedar siding and a metal gable roof complement the main house and utilize local vernacular materials.
