After living for years in New York City, artist Cassie Guy and her husband sought property closer to family and in a more rural setting. They found it in a 44-acre lot in Ivy, and tapped Thomas Ryan to design them a family home that felt native to Virginia but with modern influences. The result? Three Chimney House.

t wasn’t love at first sight for Brian Tuskey and the split-foyer, two-story house that would eventually become his home. But now, with a recent reno that modernized and maximized space especially in the kitchen, the local architect has made the house his own.

“It was this ugly tan brick, the split foyer turned me off, and I didn’t want to live in it,” Tuskey says.

“But it’s a simple rectangle, with no dormers or fluff. It’s just form and structural systems.”

Tuskey knew the house had been built at a time (around 1975) when construction materials were high-quality and craftspeople took pride in their work. And he figured it would be simple to knock down the walls that cut into the open concept he and his family desired.

And then there was the attic. It was a smallish space that was all but unused when the Tuskey family bought the place. Rather than continuing to use it as a storage space/junk repository, the architect envisioned popping the top—raising the second floor ceiling to the roof to maximize space.

It was more than 10 years before the Tuskeys got around to the project, but by Thanksgiving of last year, they had completed a full kitchen, dining room, and living room renovation. Now, the second floor areas feature clean lines, increased natural light, and wide open space. The cabinetry, all composed of uniform white oak with 100 percent horizontal graining, ties the three rooms together, and the newly raised ceilings, reaching 12 feet at their apex, allowed Tuskey to increase storage space and window size.

“It’s all the same palette,” Tuskey says. “I wanted it to be the same material throughout the space—super clean and modern, but a wood tone to bring softness and visual texture. Rather than being modernism with a capital M, it’s still warm and lived in.”

Tuskey has never found his 2,400-square-foot home too small for his family of four, so he felt no need to add square footage during the renovation. But the open concept, increased glass surfaces, and larger openings all contribute to a feeling of more room to breathe.

Tuskey and his team refinished the home’s red oak floors and, in the kitchen, did away with its old plastic laminate countertops to bring in Virginia mist granite counters and backsplashes. The material, quarried in Culpeper, lends the kitchen dark gray tones and active white swirls. “The whole thing needed new life,” Tuskey says. “If we hadn’t gone to the extent we did in the renovation, we still would have wanted a new kitchen.”

The new kitchen layout features significant counter space stretching around into a breakfast bar, a large stainless steel refrigerator, double C-VILLE ABODE

ovens, a built-in microwave, a fully vented range, and an additional drinks fridge. A single-basin sink looks through a large single-pane window into the backyard. The fixtures are stainless steel and angular, completing the modern look.

The kitchen’s sharp lines and stark colors highlight the aesthetic Tuskey has been drawn to since architecture school. He credits his wife with contributing to the project as well, playing the role of customer in asking the right questions and making him think outside the modern box.

“It was sort of a first … going completely on one of my own designs,” he says. “My wife jumped on board and loved it, but she was also a great sounding board and said so when something didn’t make sense.”

Now, while one of the Tuskeys cooks dinner, they can look out into their living room and feel connected to others, whether it’s one of the kids doing homework or making a friendship bracelet. But does the fantasy of open concept match reality? Tuskey says he selected the millwork and designed the cabinetry to create some spatial delineation—plus, there’s always running away.

“Our lower level serves the purpose almost of a basement,” he says. “The idea of an open living plan can sometimes backfire, but we knew that by opening this up, we could also find places to have alone time. We can always retreat to the downstairs.”

A second home doubles as a practice space for the owners’ budding designer daughter By Carol Diggs C-VILLE ABODE

PHOTOS: VIRGINIA HAMRICK

J

ennifer and Wil VanLoh had reached the stage in life where they were thinking about having a vacation home, a small retreat, someplace different from their home in Houston.

Their daughter Mary was headed off to UVA, in a charming college town right next to the Blue Ridge Mountains. Wouldn’t it be nice to have their second home close by? And then Mary decided to major in architecture with an eye toward a career in design...

That’s how everything fell into place, and the VanLohs ended up buying and renovating a lovely retreat in the heart of Charlottesville.

Once they decided buying a place here made more sense than paying for four years of hotel stays, “we looked at several houses,” Jennifer recalls. “But this one was different, almost like a cabin in the woods.”

Their choice: a one-story house on a quiet street off Rugby Road. The site is a wooded slope that was the back lot of another house—off the street, surrounded by mature trees—“very secluded,” says Jennifer. Other advantages: It was close to town, for when the VanLohs visited, and convenient to Grounds for when Mary needed a study retreat or a place to host out-of-town friends.

But the 1950s house needed a facelift. Its plastic-shingled exterior was drab. A previous owner had added an odd-looking two-story gable over the front door that was, in Mary’s succinct description, “weird.” And now that the surrounding trees had grown up, the house’s windows were far too small. The VanLohs hired Jeff Dreyfus of Bushman Dreyfus Architects and Steven Luck of Dwell Construction to handle the renovation; Mary put her design instincts and training to work on the interior.

The VanLohs’ first ask, says Dreyfus, was improving the front elevation. The two-story gable was removed, and the house’s narrow (and awkward) front porch was expanded into a spacious square flagstone patio with a gable roof, resulting in an all-season outdoor sitting area that’s a focal point for the entrance. And the new metal roof and upgraded board-and-batten siding gave the whole house a clean, fresh look.

Building out the patio also allowed Dreyfus to revamp the foyer inside. A narrow interior hall was taken out, opening up the space to the dining room and living area beyond. The wall enclosing the stairwell to the lower floor was replaced with an open wood-and-wire railing.

Enlarging the foyer made space for a powder room, which meant the adjoining home office could be turned into a bedroom suite/study for Mary’s use.

C-VILLE ABODE

BLUEPRINT The second step was adding a sense of light and space to the interior. All the first-floor windows were enlarged, allowing in more sunlight—morning light for the living area and sun room, afternoon and evening light for the kitchen and dining room. Creating greater views into the surrounding woods added to a sense of calm and seclusion.

The dining room and front patio overlook the steeply sloped front yard, where J.W. Townsend Landscapes is currently at work on the beds of shrubs, flowering plants, and grasses.

Refurbishing the kitchen was mostly cosmetic—square white tile on the walls and refaced cabinets in a simple, contemporary style that mirrors the wood paneling on the bar/counter between the kitchen and dining room, which was lowered to better connect the two spaces.

While the house’s exterior features and internal flow were being improved, Mary began considering the mood she wanted for the living spaces. Her inspiration, she says, was Scandinavian mountain homes: “I wanted it to be light and peaceful, lots of sun and warmth.” To create that feeling, she lightened the stain on the wood floors, whitewashed the stone walls on the twosided fireplace, and painted the exposed beams white. The furniture features simple lines, gentle curves, and soft fabrics, in a color palette of white and neutrals throughout the house so that sunlight fills the spaces.

Mary wanted a mix of old and new in the furnishings: “The chairs in the dining room are Swedish antiques, the light fixtures are modern Danish.” Some of the artwork is hers—but some touches are not. In the short passage between the kitchen and the living area, set into the brick wall, are two small recesses with cast-iron doors.

Old cooking spaces? Warming ovens? “I don’t know what they are,” Mary admits, “but I liked them, so we kept them.”

The renovation was almost completed by fall 2019, Mary’s first semester, but it took nearly a year to fully furnish the house. “I was very detailed about [choosing just the right furnishings],” Mary says, doing most of her research online but buying local when she could. And, since her first year was during the early stages of the pandemic, Mary used the house as a getaway from Grounds—“I’d come here to hang out,” she recalls, “and I loved sitting in the sun room in the morning.”

When Jennifer and Wil come to visit, they have an owners’ suite on the lower floor, with its own door leading out onto the back deck overlooking the woods. It’s a wonderful alternative to hotel rooms on football weekends and holiday visits, and feels like the quiet retreat they were looking for.

Form and function— for the future The first solar-powered carport arrives in Charlottesville

By Laura Drummond

A

two-car garage is a luxury rarely afforded to residents of the quaint neighborhoods in downtown Charlottesville. Tucked behind a single-story home is just that, although its mere existence is not its most remarkable trait. This carport is equipped with solar panels generating enough power to charge an electric vehicle—and more.

The first of its kind in the area, the carport was part of a larger home renovation project that began in April 2021 and took about a year to complete. It all began with homeowner Beth Bonner’s desire to reduce her carbon footprint.

“I am a scuba diver, so I have seen what our excesses have done to the ocean and ocean life,” says Bonner. “I really wanted to try to make this house as energy-efficient as I could. I drive an electric car, and I wanted to be able to charge that off the grid.”

A substantial undertaking, this project was a collaboration from start to finish. Dan and Alex Bracey of Bracey Designs completed the architectural design; Halcyon Contracting handled the construction under the charge of principal/owner Justin Pincham and project manager Gary Dettra; and Kelly Faust of Crux Solar provided the technical support and solar build-out.

28

Initially, the team discussed installing solar panels on the roof of the carport. Inspired by the pergola on the roof of Common House, they decided to create the roof entirely out of Lumos solar panels instead. “There’s no other structure in that roof,” explains Pincham. “There’s no framing or deck—the panels are the roof.”

The roof functions in the same way as any other solar panel array, but with a sleeker, more streamlined design. The siding incorporates design elements from the home’s exterior and lets even more natural light in for an efficient and elegant result. The double-sided solar panels are angled to maximize the amount of sunlight absorbed from above as well as to collect the reflective light from the floor’s surface. Producing an estimated 12,432 kWh annually, the system fully charges Bonner’s electric car, with any excess energy expending to the home, and then to the Dominion Energy power grid.

While the solar carport is a rarity for now, it likely won’t be the last in the area. “I started Halcyon about 10 years ago, and this is our first solar charging carport,” says Pincham. “In the future, these kinds of installations are going to become more common.” One can see why. In addition to an aesthetically pleasing carport, the home now has greater energy-efficiency, which presents cost savings both in terms of tax credits and monthly expenses. “The project turned out beautifully,” says Bonner. “I could not be happier.”

A slice above Rockpile Construction creates a one-of-a-kind pizza oven in Albemarle

By Laura Drummond

C-VILLE ABODE

STEPHEN BARLING

“Y

ou can do irrefutably impossible things with the right amount of planning and support from intelligent and hardworking people and pizza,” says writer Scott Gimple. Rockpile Construction’s masterpiece pizza oven is a testament to that assertion.

The team at Rockpile had just completed a custom-built home in Albemarle County when the clients approached owner Bill Norton about an additional project. They wanted to cook up a wood-fire pizza oven that would be the focal point of their grilling patio, and Rockpile delivered. The finished product is, in a word, bellissima!

Though it was a smaller-scale project than is typical for the construction company, Rockpile displayed the same attention to detail and care as had been done for the clients’ home. “We’re known for undertaking challenging projects,” says Norton. “I’ve always wanted to build a pizza oven for a client. They’re a wonderful way to entertain guests because everyone loves to build their own pizza.”

Norton initially modeled the design after a pizza oven he built for his own home nearly a decade ago. Forno Bravo provided the initial specifications and the ceramic insulation for the fire chamber. Norton then made modifications to align with this home’s particular aesthetic, gathering special ingredients from its exterior to incorporate into the project. The base, fire chamber, and veneer consist of the same stone used on the home. The copper-clad dome complements the roofing of the home itself. Here,

form meets function, as the copper roof also provides long-lasting protection for the underlying masonry dome. Not to mention, it’s entirely fitting that a pizza oven should harken back to Brunelleschi’s Dome in Florence, Italy.

It was a team effort to hand-build the oven in a matter of weeks, sourcing most of the ma-

terials from local vendors. The finished product is an easy-to-use outdoor pizza oven that adds flavor to the homeowners’ gatherings. Norton even got to taste-test his work, as the clients invited him to their first firing celebration. The menu consisted of build-your-own pizzas.

Molto buono!

Chimney House doesn’t announce itself. Turn onto the gravel road, drive under a few trees and up a short grassy slope, and the house is revealed, silhouetted against the sky and the Blue Ridge in the distance. The exposed hilltop, the almost windowless white brick walls and steep dark metal roof, the rustle of tall grasses—it feels like a beach house on a dune, immersed in ground and wind and sky.

From this side, the house appears long and low, anchored to the earth by the three 30-foot chimneys for which it’s named. A flagstone path leads to a tall plain black door set in the angle where two long white brick walls intersect.

Inside, the house’s geometry becomes a way of drawing visitors in and through the spaces.

The exterior white brick wall extends into the entry, then a short stairway leads down, opening into the Main Hall. This two-story kitchen/dining/living area is centered around a massive freestanding white brick chimney with two fireplaces, one facing the living area, one facing the dining area/kitchen. Along the western wall is a series of huge fixed windows and sliding glass/ screen doors framing (and proving access to) a vista of fields, woods, and mountains.

“This is what we sited the house around,” says architect Thomas Ryan of T.W. Ryan Architecture.

“The site is set up so that the mountains are very present.” The owner expresses that feeling in different words: “The sunsets here never get old.”

Three Chimney House was designed to embrace its setting—literally. From the Main Hall, two wings extend westward: the family’s residential wing is angled to the south, while the northern wing holds a guest room and studio. The more private rooms are thus set apart, while still connected visually and spatially to the core living areas.

The owners of Three Chimney House both have roots in central Virginia (one attended UVA), but had lived for years in the New York City area and had seen Ryan’s work there. With professional changes and two young children, the couple wanted to live closer to family and in a more rural setting.

They moved to Charlottesville in 2016 and were house-hunting when a tract of land in Ivy became available. The listing didn’t look promising—“there was nothing here but a cabin with a porch, built in the 1980s,” says an owner. But when the couple came to check it out, they were stunned by the possibilities of the 44-acre site.

The couple contacted Ryan about designing a new home for their family. They liked that Ryan had grown up in the South, and had an appreciation for the area’s history and architectural

Architect Thomas Ryan combined a contemporary design with materials appropriate to Virginia, from lime-washed brick and copper roofing to slate and bluestone, white oak and black cedar.

ROOM WITH A VIEW A “must have” item for Three Chimney House was a studio space for one of the clients, artist Cassie Guy. After a career as a fashion designer, Guy has branched out into works on wood and paper, illustrations for children’s books, and multimedia pieces. She’s working now on a series around the theme of motherhood, as well as some commissions and one-off pieces for exhibitions. (Her studio art and design background also made her a good partner for Ryan on many of the home’s design and materials decisions.)

As both artist and work-fromhome mother, Guy needed her own space, accessible but away from the bustlwe of family life.

Ryan therefore put the studio above the guest room in the northern extension, close to the Main Hall but only reachable via an outdoor stone path and an external fire-escape-style stair.

Being on the second floor made the studio more spacious, with a cathedral ceiling and a half-attic space for Guy to store her finished work. It has a northern exposure, for the best working light, and another west-facing window, which gives Guy an inspiring view of the Blue Ridge.

Having a studio separate from the house means that Guy can spread out and have her paints and materials at hand. She also gets lots of floor space—“I often do my work on the floor,” she says, since many of her pieces are wall-sized.

Which is also why the access stairs are outside—“otherwise I’d never get my work out!”—CD C-VILLE ABODE

traditions. But the couple also knew they wanted “a modern interpretation of a traditional home.” As a result, Ryan combined a contemporary design with materials appropriate to this area, from lime-washed brick and copper roofing to slate and bluestone, white oak and black cedar.

While Ryan’s design references Virginia’s historic architecture—he especially cites Stratford Hall, the Lee family home in Westmoreland County, with its forthright geometry and distinctive chimneys—his layout draws inspiration from Mies van der Rohe’s 1920s Brick Country House.

At 5,800 square feet, Three Chimney House offers a lot of living space without feeling overwhelming, largely due to its modular organization.

van der Rohe’s goal was to organize a residential space in such a way that doors were not needed; “I’ve always loved this idea,” Ryan admits. The clients, however, wanted a few doors—so in several key places, pocket doors allow for privacy while keeping the home’s open feel.

At 5,800 square feet, Three Chimney House offers a lot of living space without feeling overwhelming, largely due to its modular organization. In the residential wing, the bedrooms are not large, but each has both a substantial fixed window framing lovely views and a smaller, operable window capturing the breezes. At the end of the wing is a master double bathroom, walk-in double closet, and bedroom with a C-VILLE ABODE

corner balcony and a wall-sized picture window facing the mountains.

The joy of a custom house, of course, is the customized touches. Just off the entry is a skylighted mud room full of cubbies, coat hooks, and benches—after all, a real family lives here.

A glass-lined passage off the Main Hall leads to a sequestered library with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, a fireplace (Chimney No. 2) and a window seat. The two-story staircase in the residential wing is hand-crafted of white oak. And off the kitchen is a tiny patio with a built-in pizza oven (Chimney No. 3)—“a prerequisite,” the client says, from time spent in France.

While Three Chimney House has won Ryan several national awards, it presented him, and Ev-

ergreen Construction, with a few headaches. Ryan says the weather on the site seems to have a mind of its own. One memorable storm tore the newly installed roof off the residential wing (“it lifted up like a sail and flew away,” he recalls ruefully), adding another month to the construction timeline.

The house, like a family, continues to evolve.

Phase II—a driveway/garage, pool and in-law suite downslope from the western lawn—will start this fall; designing plantings and screening trees will be handled by landscape architect Anna Boeschenstein of Grounded LLC. But the kids have already added their own design extensions. In the side yard, where the old cabin used to stand, there’s now a treehouse, tree swing, and stumps for chairs around a fire pit.

Home Sweet Home

...In small packages B

y the time she purchased her home, Kestrel Elliott had already spent two years searching (“I’m pretty sure my real estate agent didn’t believe I’d ever actually make a move,” she says). But then she found it. A 1960 Cape Code in Belmont that checked all the boxes: updated kitchen and bathrooms, plenty of closets and storage space, a walk-out basement, a sizable yard—all within walking distance to the Downtown Mall 46

and central Belmont. She made an offer within 24 hours.

Since moving in, Elliott’s made a few changes.

Most notably, there’s a new face in the house: Her soon-to-be husband, Sean Webster, moved in at the start of 2018 and together, they took on two major renovations. First, a full upstairs redo.

“We literally raised the roof,” Elliott says. They widened and pushed out the dormer at the back of the house to make room for a full bath, there-

by transforming the second floor into a proper owner’s suite. Next, they added a lower deck in the back. Previously a steep, muddy slope, the couple installed a 16'x36' deck at the ground level that leads into the yard.

“We jokingly refer to our house as the ‘tardis,’” Elliott says. “From the front, it appears to be a tiny one-story cottage due to being built on a hill.

However, it is deceptively large on the inside, with three finished stories and a full bath on each floor.”
