Mill Mountain Farm - Field Sport Concepts LTD.Field Sport Concepts LTD.

Mill Mountain Farm is located in the mountain region of Southern Albemarle County, Virginia. The owners wanted FSC affiliate McKee Carson to create a unique home and garden on the 600 acre property that accommodates a growing family while acknowledging the landscape typology. On a physiographic scale the landform at Mill Mountain can be interpreted as one gesture – that of a bowl or basin with water pouring from its sides.

The ecological communities at Mill Mountain (forest, riparian edge, and meadow) can be seen as separate but the function of each is inherently connected to the others and to the larger ecosystem in which they are situated. The richness of Mill Mountain’s ecology provides a distinct, multi-layered vernacular that influences design decisions. Designing in an ecologically-conscientious manner that recognizes the landscape and the architecture as a cohesive whole is our charge and is essential to the success of Mill Mountain as a place specific.
