Living Stone Design + Build Featured in House Beautiful’s 2024 Whole Home
We’re excited to share that House Beautiful has featured Living Stone Design + Build in its seventh annual Whole Home project! Our latest home, a 4,000-square-foot contemporary mountain retreat, is located in Hendersonville’s conservation-minded Sprout community and showcases work from design teams all over the country.
A Project with a Purpose
Each year, House Beautiful picks a new place to bring unique design ideas to life. This time, they chose the Blue Ridge Mountains, captivated by the Asheville area’s art scene, food culture, and beautiful landscapes. However, their experience in our community took an unexpected turn. Just as the team wrapped up, Hurricane Helene hit western North Carolina, causing serious damage and changing the project’s story.
Though our Whole Home build stood strong, other parts of the area didn’t fare as well. Roads, homes, and many community spaces were impacted. The experience reinforced the power of community and the importance of building sustainably—values at the heart of this project.
A Focus on Sustainability
Our featured home combines energy efficiency with comfort. Equipped with a Trane heating and cooling system, the house keeps energy usage low while ensuring comfort year-round. Every design element, from the materials used to the home’s layout, was chosen with intention. Working closely with the many designers, we created a space that feels natural and inviting.
A Community Effort
This home couldn’t have been built without the dedication of our local partners and trades. From project managers to painters, everyone brought commitment and skill to the project. We’re especially grateful to House Beautiful and the brand partners who contributed to making this vision possible.
Rebuilding and Moving Forward
As the region recovers from the storm, House Beautiful has pledged support to local rebuilding efforts, encouraging visitors to experience the Blue Ridge area when the time is right. For now, you can explore our project here, and in the November/December issue of House Beautiful, available on newsstands starting November 26.
Thank you to everyone involved and to our clients and community for their continued support. We’re proud to share this project and the story of resilience it has come to represent.
