Located in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia, this modern house in the woods was designed by Washington-based Travis Price Architects. The home is a path through the West Va hills. The home is simple, a main area and a guest house connected and apart. The main place is a bedroom, kitchen, dining and living. Basics are met under ceilings that are vaulted in wood. Not only the idea is wonderful, but the result is just as much. We love this creative idea that makes this house in the woods unique and a little greener, without cutting trees.
The living trees were saved and become captured art as they puncture the home preserved for lovers of nature. The path splits and meanders to know where… to know where nothing is left but self and nature. The cloak of nature and soul are equally in harmony punctured by growth and rebirth all afloat. Swaying trees and swirling winds scoop clouds of water to feed the split trees. A rock opens as a stairway and leaves paths to take in or out. It is very important that the architects respected the surrounding nature by not cutting trees, but rather using them as decoration – Beautiful house in the woods! The surrounding trees and the tree in the patio make you feel very calm and close to the nature.
