FREEDOM COVE | MARSHALL, NC
ALTURA ARCHITECTS

In the mountains of Marshall, NC we spent 12 hours capturing this beautiful artist retreat by Altura Architects. We focused on the home’s unique features, including black wood siding, solar panels, expansive windows, and seamless indoor-outdoor living spaces. Notable highlights include a bold yellow front door, a stylish wood-burning stove, and inviting gathering areas like a covered porch and an outdoor fire pit. The home, owned by an artist and musician, blends contemporary aesthetics with natural surroundings, offering a serene yet creative retreat.
