James River House is a riverside retreat in the rural town of Scottsville, Virginia, USA. Designed by ARCHITECTUREFIRM in 2013, the black country home consists of three distinct volumes and measures 2,750ftยฒ (255mยฒ).
The James River House was designed as a place for three young boys. It is a place where they can grow and learn from their surroundings – experience mud, moths, flowing water, and the changing light of the seasons; a place that would allow for many gatherings of all the people who love them. Three volumes hover above a bluff alongside a bend in the James River in Scottsville, Virginia, arranged loosely and lightly on the land like a scattered group of stones around a campfire. As a visitor slips between the volumes, the house opens up to light and river views and the fully enveloping woods.
