Contrasting with an existing traditional home off Richmond’s Cary Street Road corridor, this bespoke two‑story addition is a carefully tailored response to the evolving needs of a growing young family. Perched like an outcropping on a wooded hillside, the new volume uses natural materials and refined finishes to nestle gently among the trees, creating a serene and private retreat. Rising above a partially submerged garage and a music room wrapped in stone, the upper level houses a library, a light‑filled gallery, and a guest suite, all articulated in warm wood and soft lime plaster.
