Eagle Point Residence
Robert
designed and built his home at 466 Eagle Point Road in Pittsboro, North Carolina to reflect his talent for making the most
of space, structure, and shadow. Its’ superior construction and artistic detailing were recognized in the Chapel Hill
News. Planned for a sloping site on a heavily wooded lot, the building was constructed using metal framing. Interior rooms
open up onto a 25-foot atrium room with a clerestory roof.
Forest Garden Office
On this
homestead property, Robert also designed and built the Forest Garden office for his wife, Betty W. Phillips, Ph.D., who is
a psychotherapist.
Betty wanted her office to be a place of peace and beauty within a garden forest setting. The slope
of the lot made construction challenging, but Robert used this limitation to his advantage by adding terraces, stonework,
waterfalls, and extensive landscaping around the structure. Visitors report feeling calm and content after spending time at
Forest Garden.
