About Mountain Wood
Architectural Harmony
Stone and steel pillars support the lofty thresholds and airy passageways of these buildings. They echo the style of an aging hay barn, with light streaming through wooden slats.
Intricate Design Elements
Artisanal stone and contemporary angles coexist beautifully, encasing a central jewel box design. Light floods in from all sides, transforming pathways below into a captivating graphic pattern inspired by the stone facade.
Timeless Materials
Craftsmen have deliberately welded each joint and carefully selected every screw. The stone’s patina and the cedar’s reddish hue capture the essence of time, paying homage to local agricultural history and its architectural roots.
Outdoor Serenity
The structures engage in a gentle interplay of eaves, creating serene outdoor areas. These spaces, filled with wild grass and towering sycamore trees, invite a moment of reflection and connection to history.
