INTERIORS
One of Smith’s favorite elements of
the design is the front porch and entry
hall, which has a lower than typical
ceiling (9 feet, 6 inches) for a cozy
welcome, before stepping up into the
living room with a soaring 12-foot
ceiling. This room also includes a
17- by 11-foot wall of French doors
with transoms to create a wall of
glass for the view. Smith says, “It’s
all about the view. There are so many
places in this house you can go, and
each one provides a completely different view depending on your desired
mood or activity.”
The family is drawn to spend much
of their time on the porch throughout
most of the seasons. With seamless
access between the kitchen, the formal
breakfast dining nook and the porch,
they often grill outside to maximize
the mountain experience.
