West Virginia Shack
user
The American romance with the shed-like home continues with this shack by Maryland-based architect Jeffery Broadhurst. The home, which Broadhurst built with friends and neighbors for his family in rural West Virginia, can be accessed by off-road vehicles only. The front façade is a retractable door looking out from the mountainside, and the steel roof collects rainwater.

An awsome view! I would love waking up and having my morning coffee from that front "porch". And a sunset from that view would be spectacular.
