The project
Travis Price Architects designed the architecture, interiors and garden of this house on a high cliff above the Potomac River, a rare setting near Washington DC. It is aligned for passive solar heating in winter and deep shade in summer.
The roof is anchored to the rock to resist being lifted by the wind. Inside, large sheets of maple plywood line the rooms, while the exterior is steel and aluminium, opening onto terraces and views of the trees and river.
