Featured in Dwell Magazine and likely one of the most award-winning homes in Orange County, the architecturally-significant Weathering House is sited on a 5.73 acre parcel of beautiful, wooded land just off Orange Grove Rd in Orange County, halfway between Chapel Hill/Hillsborough. This modernist home's minimal design was created with the fruit of the oak tree, an acorn, in mind. The structure is partially wrapped in a cor-ten steel shell which acts as a visual/rain screen & a canopy/sunshade that has been lovingly weathered by the elements over the last decade. The house will appeal to those who value design & want something special: a progressive, contemporary home that complements its natural setting all while being highly efficient & supporting a live/work lifestyle. The wide entry gives way to a sunken, open main room boasting 11-foot ceilings, a dining area, a foodie's kitchen and a breathtaking 20' glass door framing views of the dense hardwood forest. Also on the main floor sits a massive studio to fuel creativity. Unfortunately, photos fail to fully convey this masterpiece's essence. One must simply visit.
