Reynolds Mountain Modern Retreat
Allard + Roberts (A+R) is honored to be a part of the design/build of this spectacular modern home in Reynolds Mountain, overlooking downtown Asheville and the surrounding mountains. Perched on a hilltop site, the front of this home faces the northern mountains, while downtown Asheville is viewed from the Kitchen window, screened porch, and outdoor kitchen. Altura architects worked with the homeowners to develop a home that is architecturally striking, and makes the most of the views on the site. Altura reached out to Allard + Roberts early in the design process, integrating our interiors work along with the architectural work from the beginning of the project. A+R then collaborated with the homeowner, builder (Jade Mountain Builders) and architect throughout the construction process.
Initially, the homeowners provided images of homes and architectural features that they liked, which Talli Roberts-Early used as initial inspiration. She was able to come to the very first design selections meeting armed with samples in a similar aesthetic. Those very first finish samples became the basis for the entire finishes palette for this custom home.
Early on, it was determined that the flooring would be a prefinished European white oak. The custom kitchen features a tri-tone finish combination of rift cut white oak, paired with pale gray and dark gray painted cabinets. The dark gray cabinet paint is the same color as the exterior of the home, for continuity. The homeowners also had an extensive artwork collection, which A+R coordinated with their new furniture, area rugs and decor, for a cohesive end result. The backgrounds are intentionally timeless and neutral, allowing the views and artwork to stand apart.
Our clients are now enjoying the change of seasons in WNC through the vast windows, and entertaining from their screened porch and outdoor kitchen, when the weather allows. Their new puppy is running the show, as are the grandkids when they are in town. As intended, this home is now a place for making meals and memories with family, friends and the new fur baby!
