Location
Sylva, North Carolina
The Rutt Residence is a custom new-construction home nestled in the scenic landscape of Cullowhee, North Carolina. Designed for an active family of four, this residence draws inspiration from traditional Spanish architecture while incorporating modern sensibilities and long-term flexibility.
At the heart of the design is a unique, adaptive floor plan that evolves with the family’s needs—offering private, independent spaces for the children as they grow, while transforming into welcoming guest or rental accommodations in the future.
Architectural Features & Finishes:
Spanish-Inspired Design: Arched openings, terracotta tones, and classic detailing.
Stained Concrete Floors: Durable, low-maintenance, and earthy in tone—anchoring the home in its natural setting.
Polished Plaster Walls: Smooth, tactile, and reflective—offering a warm, artisanal backdrop.
Custom Furnishings: Thoughtfully designed to blend function with personal style, enhancing the home’s layered character.
Rich Material Palette: A curated blend of textures and colors that harmonize to create a cozy yet elegant atmosphere.
The Rutt Residence is more than a home—it's a dynamic, multi-generational retreat crafted for connection, adaptability, and a timeless aesthetic rooted in culture and craft.
