Turkey Ridge

Set on rolling land in western North Carolina, the Turkey Ridge Residence by Carlton Edwards reinterprets the traditional gabled farmhouse through a lens of modern restraint. Brick masonry, western red cedar, and floor-to-ceiling glass come together in a composition that feels both crafted and contemporary.

The home’s form and siting follow the natural contours of its meadowed slope near Asheville, with simple gabled volumes organizing family life around a central living pavilion. Private wings extend outward to frame distant mountain views, while a detached office pavilion balances seclusion with connection.

Sustainability is embedded through geothermal heating, rooftop solar, and high-performance insulation. Locally sourced brick and cedar siding provide durability and a tactile presence that will weather gracefully over time.
