Xoravia (Moravia with an X factor, where the X is pronounced like a Z as in Xanadu) does not impress with vaulting spaces. It takes an interest in intimacy and creates interiors of warmth and comfort, with subtle transitions from one room to another.

Throughout, there are arresting views which compete for attention.  A hall of bookcases opens to the master bedroom, so closely married to the outside granite patio that it feels you must be sleeping outside.  The turn on the stair landing presents a hypnotically simple Shaker interior above. The step down into the bridge room leaves you floating off the ground with a lavish full view down to the stream on one side and up to the tree line on the other.  Here you stop and breathe. You cannot just walk through. Every single window in Xoravia is like a painting.  Each one frames a fresh and interesting fractal of the giant exterior landscape.

Xoravia is a house of angles. It folds back in on itself so you are often experiencing the charm of the exterior from the interior. The master bath windows look out on the formal beauty of the Moravian front exterior.  The office looks at the rear of the house where the Moravian rules are relaxed into a warmer form. 

The experience of Xoravia is more than shelter and sustenance.  It is like moving into a painting where all the brushstrokes combine color and art to create a living experience elevated beyond its graceful functions to a spell of peace and delight.  It's not a just a house and it is certainly more than just architecture.
