Morehead Project
Set along a trout river with a waterfall just beyond the windows, this A-frame had all the makings of something special…
—but inside, it felt dark, closed off, and stuck in another era.
Vision
Honor what’s there.
Open it to the light.
Maximize functionality.
Our Approach.
We reworked the space to open it up, bring in light, and make it feel livable without losing the character that made it worth preserving. Original beams were kept and complemented with refined black walnut millwork, adding warmth and contrast throughout.
The kitchen was reimagined with painted cabinetry, open shelving to showcase East Fork pottery, and integrated details like a concealed dishwasher drawer and a pot filler at the range. A bay window now draws in light for plants and everyday living.
Custom pieces throughout the home bring function to the way it’s actually used—from a black walnut record console to a dedicated fly-tying station, wet bar, and media unit with mirrored glass and marble.
In the bathrooms, custom cabinetry and a poured concrete tub positioned at the window create a quiet place to take in the landscape.
Once heavy & closed off—feels light, calm, & connected to where it sits.
