James River East

Design: 510 Architects | Kathy Corbet Interiors

Working within the post-and-beam structure of a historic Thrasher barn, the renovation removed later alterations and introduced a quieter material palette suited to the original frame. Large areas of storefront glazing open the house to the river, while custom metal entry doors establish a direct view from the front door to the water.

Modern systems were integrated carefully within the existing structural insulated panel construction, including radiant floor heating and a custom ventilation solution for the La Cornue range.

New glazing brings natural light into the original post-and-beam structure.

A tailored ventilation system was developed for the La Cornue range.

The project received a 2024 Professional Remodel Organization Award for Whole House Renovation.
