This spectacular rustic modern home was designed by ACM Design, nestled along a Ridgeline of the Black Mountains of western North Carolina. Ideally located near the town of Asheville, this home blends the spare sensibility of Japanese design with the hewn details of an old Pennsylvania farmhouse. The open floor plan offers flow between the gathering spaces, proportioned specifically to minimize wasted space.
The rooms feature large expanses of windows that capture long-range mountain views along with natural sunlight during the majority of the day. The farmhouse-style kitchen harkens back to the owner’s childhood yet is equipped with modern amenities for an accomplished chef, including a that’s pantry reminiscent of a country store.

The architect designed exterior and interior spaces that have transformed this new house into an invitingly comfortable family home; one that feels as if it has existed for years, nestled into the surrounding mountain landscape, with interior warmth and charm.
As empty nesters, the homeowner’s intent was to downsize, by having rooms that function for multiple purposes — guest bedrooms that also serve as home offices and a dining nook for two that can expand into the adjacent open space living room for larger gatherings. They wanted to create spaces that could easily accommodate friends and family while retaining an intimate coziness for just the two of them.
