“Villa Virginia”
A series of recently completed images by Photographer, Ansel Olson is a beautiful closing chapter of a project that began eight years ago.
A modernist residential compound - “Villa Virginia”, occupies a prominent wooded hillside overlooking a tributary to the James River in South-Eastern Virginia. Surrounded by water on three sides, distinct and crisp forms are clad in limestone, bronze plate, and glass. The plan is positioned to maximize landscape views and natural light from both private and public spaces.
Josh McCullar was the project’s Design Architect during his prior tenure with SMBW and collaborated with Maggie Schubert, RA and Melinda Harvey, ID.
