Prompt: ‘The rolling hills of the Allegheny Mountains in that area of the Shenandoah Valley have such a soft, gentle feeling,’ describes the team. ‘They are like a well worn pair of corduroys —full of relief and detail, but a soft relief.’ This perception of soft relief significantly shapes the material choices for the Shenandoah House, particularly evident in the roof, which combines flexibility with the durability required for the area’s seasonal variations. Constructed from insulated stucco, the main body of the home integrates the smooth, white finish reminiscent of seaside Greek architecture with materials like the Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems (EIFS) cladding system, a locally used solution found on small commercial buildings such as gas stations. The design deliberately draws from these influences to create a unique aesthetic for the Shenandoah House.

Prompt: The inception of the Shenandoah House can be traced back to a dinner party where the clients shared sketches of a home inspired by travels in Athens. This initial drawing guided the collaboration with Schaum/Shieh (see more here), resulting in a final design centered around a long, airy plan that playfully embeds into the topography. In contrast to common reactions to hilltop sites, such as cantilevers, the architects opted for a subtle and organic response. The design avoids flattening any part of the site, choosing to build along the natural contours. A gray metal roof ties the elements together, emphasizing the lines and volumes of the slopes, creating a harmonious connection between the Shenandoah House and its natural setting. Ultimately, the team has developed a residence that respects the landscape and caters to the practical needs of its inhabitants. ‘We didn’t have the inclination to make a dramatic use of the steepness with a cantilever, and we didn’t want to flatten any portion of the site to erase the slope, so we decided to build along the contours as much as we could,’ explains Shieh.

Prompt: Nestled on a slope of the Allegheny Mountains in western Virginia, US, the Shenandoah House, designed by Schaum/Shieh, arranges its living spaces along a continuous line that follows the contours of its pitted terrain. This unconventional layout blends contemporary architecture with the natural topography, offering sweeping views of the rolling hills. The elongated plan, resembling irregular pods connected by a central corridor, creates pockets for gardens and outdoor nooks, erasing the boundary between the indoors and outdoors. The doubling of the ridgeline and the rounding of the peak add a gentle touch, reflecting the sloping surroundings. Designed as a 2.750-square-foot (255,5 square-meter) residence and writer’s retreat for a couple deeply connected to the local landscape, the project addresses the challenges posed by the steep site. As explained by Schaum/Shieh co-principal Rosalyne Shieh, they aimed for a subtle intervention in the landscape, seeking to create a house that fits organically without straightforwardly adopting local vernacular materials or solutions. ‘We focused on the hill, the seasons, the distant view, and the intimate life of the site.’

Prompt: In collaboration with the team at HSH Interiors, the clients’ bohemian lifestyle and love for music, literature, and the great outdoors inspired the interior design. The three-bedroom guest house, located steps away from the main house, features a similar carved-away entry and rectilinear form. The writer’s studio, positioned as a two-story sentinel surrounded by aspens, provides a formal contrast to the other structures, offering a space for contemplation among the tree canopies.
Prompt: Wood, steel, bronze, custom cast white concrete, bleached cedar, travertine, and onyx define the material palette of ShineMaker. Italian limestone takes center stage in the primary bath, serving as both flooring and a custom bathtub, intricately water jet cut from a single block. This selection of materials creates a harmonious fusion of natural elements, elevating the retreat’s aesthetic.
Prompt: The architecture of ShineMaker embraces openness, offering sweeping views of mountain vistas, the Grand Tetons, natural fauna, forests, and meadows. The main house, with a rectilinear plan, seemingly anchors itself to surrounding trees, creating a dynamic quality. The charred shou sugi ban exterior enhances this effect, forming overhangs and openings. The interplay with the landscape continues through the use of light Atlantic cedar, subtle plaster, and floor-to-ceiling glass, blurring the boundaries between the interior and the postcard surroundings.
Prompt: Comprising a main house, guest house, and writer’s studio, CLB Architects designs its ShineMaker compound to unfold as a trio of simple boxes, each thoughtfully designed in response to its unique surroundings. The 6,000 square-foot main house, positioned on the edge between field and forest, mimics a ‘geologic remnant’ in the landscape. In contrast, the 1,577 square-foot guest house and 580 square-foot writer’s studio nestle intimately within the wooded environment. A fourth structure is planned for the future, which the architects plan to be ‘spiritually focused’ to enhance the retreat’s holistic nature.
