This Fall has been a lot of motion. Much more to come on the interwebs, but sometimes simplicity and order seem to be better than anything at the moment. Good design and product that is thoughtful, useful and calming. Not just stuff, but a tool. Gear. Onward and upward.

Autumnal Equinox

Sights, textures, products and some travels as Summer has now closed its door. Cheers-

Beginnings. Or, better yet, steps forward.

Building a house from the ground up was something we never thought we would have the opportunity to do, for our family. After over 2yr of planning we recently broke ground and have the best team assembled to knock it out of the park. David Nisbet, landscape to name a few. More to come on the project over the next year but “here we go”.

Full circle. Learned to ski here, lived in college here and back from time to time. The scale to me is always how I saw it as a kid, larger than what I see now. Life doesn’t need “epic” experiences, just experiences. Especially for kids. Appalachian Ski Mountain has operated since the Winter of ‘62-‘63 as the first resort in NW North Carolina and second in NC. Post War resorts were already well underway in the west and New England but Southern skiing was just getting its start. Quite a run, pun intended. Happy weekend-

Summer Solstice 2023, 10:58am EST. Light, bright and full of energy. Though you are likely not lucky enough to be at Stonehenge.. even if for a few minutes, do carve time out of the schedule to get outside today. Cheers!

Spring ‘23

A few from the season. Inspiration from old places, quietness and permanence of great design.

A treat to be with incredible clients who wish to replicate their Western NC property with something.. not in the Mountains itself. Much love to an immaculate engineer owned but 🇩🇪 engineering in the garage was a nice surprise.

🚨! Ironically was by this property just a couple of weeks ago to see if maybe Winter would allow a look through the trees, but no such luck. The entry lamp post is the only clue of what lurks up the driveway.

Commissioned in 1968 and completed a few years later, this house off Leesville Rd in Raleigh hasn’t changed hands since 1975. It hit the open market this morning out of nowhere, but is marketed as a development opportunity mostly. Please contact us if you think you may know someone saving it.

This was later in HHH’s storied career but retains so many signature design elements. A truly rare and remarkable opportunity.

If you need us, we may be hanging out here, likely at BAR (or Taverne). Happy Weekend-

A rare 🦅 for central NC, this 1978 SW Raleigh home rests on an acre. Showings beginning Thursday. We are excited to bring this to market with co-worker

Completely overhauled by a passionate family out of Durham, this home lives like new. A Gambrel roof caps this “A-Frame Style” home and holds a 22’ high living room underneath. A quiet and authentic feel just away from town but proximal to amenities, recreation and the new I540 loop.

How do your recreational pursuits inform your lifestyle and how does that connect with your home?

At MountainModern we believe your recreational passions should not only be supported in the built environment, but celebrated. It’s not just the “out there” but “always there”.

Sliding into the 21st century:

**Photos 1 & 2**
House: Washington Coast Residence
Architect: Cutler Anderson Architects
Location: Washington Coast
Photos: Lincoln Barbour

**photos 3&4**
House: La Dacha Mtn Retreat c.2016
Architect: Del Rio Arquitetos Asociados
Location: Las Trancas, Chillan, Chile
Photo: Felipe Camus

Recent builds that just simply work. One that we keep circling back to from Cutler Anderson and the DRAA build that seems to have warmth and soul well beyond its young years.

Another favorite from the past:

House: Forest House c.1975
Architect: Peter Bohlin
Location: West Cornwall, CT

Designed as a weekend house for his parents, the appropriately named home is a juxtaposition of the forest and a much more modern built environment that incredibly sits lightly on the land - and if removed, the land would look all the same. continues to show sensitivity to the environment and a focus on the people as much as the design itself.

“I give thanks for inspiration, it guides my mind along the way”

House: Risom House
Year: 1967

While the present is our moment, and the future is to come, we at Mountain Modern are inspired and thankful for all the talent of the past.

A few favorites this week::

First, a modified prefab that has stood the test of time. Simplicity in materials and a testament that good design should be attainable across price points. Thanks Jens.

As we reflect on 2022, one of our guiding principles is always “Quality Over Quantity”.

In 2022, we helped 15 sets of clients close on properties that were BELOW the median sales price in their adjoining markets. One of those for buyers had 41 other offers. This was a team effort, with clients doing the heavy lifting. Quality of transactions, successes and positivity transcended a simple price point (quantity) on paper.

The Ethos of Mountain Modern lives across a myriad of budgets and aspirations.

in 2023 we go!
