Home on Mud Creek Ridge

Fayetteville, AR

Located in northeast Fayetteville, the wooded site for this home in an established neighborhood takes advantage of the existing tree canopy as well as the natural topography to create a serene environment within the heart of the city.

The main floor utilizes an open plan concept in a narrow bar oriented along the east-west axis to achieve optimum energy performance.  The house opens up with extensive glass on the north side to take advantage of views off the ridge that change with the seasons.  Through the use of overhangs and by taking advantage of the existing trees, there is not a single window treatment in the house. The second floor is also a narrow bar and forms an ‘L’ with the main level to create covered exterior spaces off the main living area. The topography allows a basement to be created on the west end of the house.  The flat planes, open plan and large openings that open up to views of the natural surroundings echo many of the key elements of mid-century modernism that influenced the house.

The primary exterior materials include a full thickness natural sandstone base that is quarried in Arkansas along with a box rib metal panel and standing seam metal roof.  Interior details include a wood base and door frame that is flush with the gypsum board walls separated by a reveal. The high-performance HVAC system, LED lighting, security and home audio are all controlled via smart technology.
