Tucked into the north slope of Paris Mountain, this thoughtfully crafted mountain modern house is a modern retreat built as both sanctuary and gallery. Designed for a retired art gallery owner and a financial executive, the home blends clean lines, curated materials, and wide-open views of Caesars Head. Bluestone Construction was brought in early to assist with site selection, team assembly, and construction. The final design—anchored by a long, light-filled corridor for displaying art—was inspired by a fleeting scene in a foreign film. Expansive windows frame the Blue Ridge Mountains, while warm wood finishes, custom millwork, and minimalist detailing offer a quiet backdrop for the couple’s collection of paintings, sculpture, and rare books. Every detail, from slope-sensitive siting to the interplay of light and volume, was crafted to reflect the clients’ refined, creative lifestyle and to blur the line between dwelling and gallery.
