Back to Basics

New home for a retired Minister in Smithfield, Virginia.
This small but adequate house for a minister and his wife is on a wooded site not far from a river which enters into the Chesapeake Bay. The lot was full of trees with each tree recorded for position and size. In the location of the main house was discovered an old Model T- Ford tractor! A drainage swale needs to be relocated but otherwise the site is sheltered from the hot summer sun . The couple wanted a traditional approach to their living requirements and is a  retired couple's dream. For years of hard work this couple's respite is oriented to take advantage of woods and breezes.
