Inspired by Scandinavian simplicity, this modern ranch home was designed to capture natural light in every room while creating an open, connected kitchen–living space. Set on a tight, sloping lot in Waynesville, North Carolina, the home responds to its neighborhood of modest single-family houses with a clean, understated street presence and a warm, contemporary interior. Generous windows frame west-facing mountain views in a cinematic sequence throughout the home.
