Living Stone Design Build together with ID.ology Interiors & Design has created this stunning custom home in the community of Olivette, just outside of Asheville, in western North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains. Olivette is a 411-acre planned community that is built around a four-season organic farm that is designed to connect people with nature, community, and their food.

This warm and welcoming home is refreshing to walk into on many levels. The way the great room opens up to the porch and out into the trees makes it feel like you are in the middle of nowhere even though you’re in a neighborhood. The inviting warm colors and traditional elements are a breath of fresh air.

It’s also literally a refreshing home because the indoor air quality was a big priority for the owners. Homebuyers today are increasingly concerned about the indoor air quality of their homes. Issues like mold, radon, carbon monoxide, and toxic chemicals have received greater attention than ever as poor indoor air quality has been linked to a host of health problems.

This residence is North Carolina’s first Wellness Within Your Walls certified home. To learn more about the importance of Indoor Air Quality, the team at Living Stone Design Build has put together some excellent information.
