This modern residence was designed to frame and compliment a beautiful, wooded site fronting Yellow Creek in Bath, Ohio. The 5,250 sq. ft. house features linear cedar and stone claddings, which recall the shale-lined banks of the nearby Yellow Creek.

Located on the grounds of a former turn-of-the-century estate, the design language of the new residence is quite at home with retained historic building elements that have remained intact on the property over the years— including a stone horse bridge, mill house, dovecote and bathhouse.

The interior finishes are primarily wood and stone, contributing to the home’s sense of belonging with its environment. There is a walkout lower level and floor-to-ceiling windows which offer magnificent views of the Yellow Creek and park-like natural surroundings.

The interior spaces reflect the Client’s love of entertaining guests and feature open living and dining spaces flowing around a massive central stone fireplace visible from the modern chef’s kitchen as well as the dining and living areas. The design of master bathroom was inspired by the Client’s favorite spas and hotels and continues the stone “inside/outside” identity that distinguishes the residence overall.
