The Gallery House

Stunning new construction home in Asheville, designed for exquisite living and entertaining finished in the fall of 2025. We are bringing you a sneak peek of kitchen and gathering room area with more photos coming this spring.

This home design is classic French manor on the exterior with a modern twist on the interior. Custom windows, light brick and stone masonry, symmetry of the front facade, and a circular drive present an impressive welcome to this stately home. Enter through the foyer and into a two-story lounge with a window wall of glass surrounding a sculptural staircase. The home is a celebration of the owner’s love of art from Old World masters to contemporary artists and a blend of their love for entertaining. Their diverse collection of sculpture, etchings, paintings, and mixed media was cataloged so that each piece could be placed in a curated way in the finished home. Acquired over decades and from travels around the world, the art collection is a visual story-telling of their lives. The collections are tastefully displayed to create an elegant home that is enjoyed each day by the owners, as well as a welcoming retreat for family and friends.

The home’s floor plan boasts rooms that flow together creating open spaces for entertaining, but with vestibules for small painting groupings and nooks with custom built-in displays to house sculptures. The design balances open-concept spaces with defined rooms. Custom windows with maximum UV control properties bring in natural light, while protecting the collections. A large gathering kitchen with chef grade appliances and large central island spills into a cozy gathering room anchored by a fireplace with cast stone surround. A secondary kitchen and pantry is tucked away adjacent to this space, which allows for the preparation for large events and parties to be out of sight from guests.
