One Virginia timber frame home pairs the beauty of timbers with its natural surroundings.

Purposely positioned on the land to “look like it had been dropped on to the site by a helicopter,” the house sits amongst a forest of old-growth trees about 100 feet above the Occoquan River. “Everything was kept as natural as possible,” explains Mark who, along with his Burke, Virginia-based firm KohlMark, was the architect on the project. It was intentionally designed to fit in with the surrounding landscape.
