New Build: Lake Pointe Residence

With rich, natural materials and bold lines, this modern lake home is a perfect example of the architect Cipriani Studios's signature organic modernism. The setting is what this home is really about. Perched on an outcrop overlooking Cheat Lake, every room enjoys water views through 11-foot glass, with large outdoor living spaces for relaxing in the open air.

New Construction: White Water Preserve

Designed as a tranquil retreat, this home offers the perfect blend of comfort, privacy, and natural beauty. The unique layout places the kitchen, living area, and master suite on the upper floor, creating a serene, elevated space that maximizes both views and relaxation. Below, two additional bedrooms, each with its own full bath, ensure a restful and peaceful stay.
A striking tall stone fireplace adds a touch of warmth to the interior, making it the perfect spot for quiet, cozy moments.
Step outside to experience the home’s stunning outdoor spaces: a large, double-decker deck that enhances your connection to nature. The first-floor deck features a relaxing hot tub, ideal for unwinding while enjoying the surrounding views. The second-floor deck offers a similarly expansive space for soaking in the sights and sounds of the wilderness. Whether you’re soaking in the hot tub or simply enjoying the peaceful outdoors, this home is designed to provide a serene escape, perfect for unwinding and reconnecting with nature.

Design + Build: The Lake House

New Build: South Park

This custom home in Morgantown's Suncrest neighborhood showcases the beauty that comes from thoughtful collaboration between client, builder, and design professionals. Every room reflects quality craftsmanship and attention to detail, from its striking brick and stone exterior to the refined interior finishes.

Exterior Details
One of the standout features of this home is its exterior: a combination of traditional red brick with locally quarried sandstone corners. The detailed brickwork—herringbone patterns, cornerstones, and arched window insets—adds timeless character. Every sandstone corner was hand-fitted on site by Mike McAdams Masonry, reinforcing the custom nature of the build.

Interior Craftsmanship
Inside, this home shines with bespoke details. Curved windows, 8-foot interior doors, and extensive custom cabinetry by Hunn Cabinet Co. elevate the everyday. One of the most unique features is the curved metal handrail in the grand entry, hand-forged by local blacksmith Sky Forge Metalworks. Throughout the home, trim work and wood detailing echo the homeowners’ vision and our shared commitment to craftsmanship.

New Construction: The Creek House (Whitewater Preserve, WV)

Addition: Solomon Estates Timber frame

Winner of 2021 HBAWV Best of West Virginia Building Award for Remodeling. Rising Sun was honored to be chosen to design and build a 2400SF 2-story addition to connect a detached garage and residence. 

The windy location needed an enclosed space with lots of access to the outdoors for entertaining guests. This addition features large decks and patios, high ceilings, a custom dual-sided stoned wood burning fireplace, a full kitchen, and a Doug fir timber frame.

The basement features a wine storage room and tasting area with walnut lined elevator and a garage for lawn care and implements. Rising Sun used ICF foundation and SIPS walls to make the structure extremely energy efficient.  Additionally, we added standing seam and synthetic slate shingle roofing. We made repairs and timber frame upgrades to the existing entrance and siding/stone so the whole house would match and gave it all the same paint color. Lots of effort was put into matching the roof/soffit/fascia/windows/paint color.

Facelift: Home Exterior

The homeowner reached out to us to replace the aging T1-11 siding on their home, which had developed areas of rot. We collaborated closely to design a visually appealing exterior, combining both horizontal and vertical elements for added character. The new exterior features Hardie Board Lap Siding paired with Board and Batten accents, creating a modern yet timeless look. For trim, we used LP Trim, which we’ve found offers superior performance compared to Hardie trim. Our work also included replacing the soffit, fascia, and drip edge, as well as installing a new skylight in the sunroom to bring in natural light. All siding and trim were painted on-site for a clean, cohesive finish.

Timber Frame House Addition on Ridge Road

In a traditional home, the frame structural work is behind the drywall. In a timber frame home, the structure of the home is exposed. The structure itself becomes an architectural and aesthetic feature. 
 
We love timber frame homes because we are especially proud of the structures we can provide. We specialize our timber frames to the area it is being built – to best aesthetically combine the house and the landscape. We see timber frame homes as true works of art.
