This thesis is a proposed house located at Smithfield, a property that has been in the Smith family for over two centuries. Located in Russell County, Virginia, the land has a rich history, and the design of the house addresses the historical significance of the site. The house reflects both the past and the present. While the house is rooted in early regional building traditions, the proposed house is modern in the use of materials and details. The final design reflects the historical context of the site and region while incorporating modern concepts of how we live today. / Master of Architecture / This thesis is a proposed house located at Smithfield, a property that has been in my family for over two centuries. It is based on the regional architecture of Southwest Virginia and our family's history and ties to the land. While the house is rooted in early regional building traditions, the proposed house is modern in the use of materials and details. Like what has come and gone before us, the house is not meant to stand forever, but become a living memory to our family.
