“Garry would come out to the property at various times of the day and sit on the lawn watching how the wind came off the mountains and where the sun sat in the sky at different times of day. Then he had me fill out a 17-page questionnaire before he began working on the design. The result was a house that incorporates lots of windows and a wraparound porch that capitalizes on our views of the Paris and Blue Ridge Mountains.”
