Architect: Ellen Cassilly Architect, Inc.

Location: 6301 Mimosa Drive, Chapel Hill, NC 27514

Description:

Art is in the DNA of "Cassilhaus". It is a home and art gallery and working studio for visiting artists.

Three intersecting trapezoidal volumes contain, connect and integrate these functions while the orientation and fenestration of the home affords solar optimization and breathtaking views of the forest and creek below.

The owners manage an active artist residency and an exhibition program yet separate entrances, services and smart floor planning allow for the continuum of total privacy to intimate collaboration with the artists. The exciting and energetic spaces flow from one volume to the next offering visual treats at every turn.
