Richmond, VA 23226
The vast walls of glass windows not only take advantage of the amazing view of the James River, but they also allow vast amounts of daylight to filter throughout the house.
The cantilevered roof structure directs the natural light and diffuses it throughout the space. The luminaries in the overhangs create a sense of outdoor lighting from within the space when there is no or low daylight.
View from within the living room. (Note: the table lamp shown is not original to the house.)
View from unobstructed balcony.
View from second living room.
Recessed can fixtures provide functional lighting, while the chandelier is decorative and adds ambiance. Again, natural daylight filters throughout this space.
In the fall of 2009, I had the opportunity to take a tour of this historic landmark. If you haven't been, I highly recommend taking a peek! It is breathtaking!
