brennan+company was hired to envision a new vacation house on a cliffside site in Falling Waters, West Virginia. Situated on a steep bluff overlooking the Potomac River and a rural landscape across the river, the house unfolds as a series of volumes, breaking the scale and taking advantage of the prevailing breeze, sunlight and views. Following strict neighborhood covenants on size, volume, and roof slopes, along with existing site development restrictions of private well and septic, this family retreat with its open plan layout, spatial organization and breathtaking views is the perfect getaway.
