From the Firm

Flying Squirrel is a family firm. We design and build homes that are quietly beautiful — modern, warm, and shaped around the way families actually live. Light, proportion, and materials that age well. Nothing more, nothing less.

Feature No. 01

Flying Wexford

The front — brick and charcoal at the crest of the hill.

The House

Flying Wexford sits at the crest of a hillside lot in Erinwood, where the land falls away into miles of wooded valley. Nearly every principal room faces the view, and the rear elevation opens onto a full-width terrace suspended above the slope.

The palette comes from the site itself: green quartzite veined like the treeline, walnut inlaid with brass, white oak underfoot. A double-sided hearth anchors the great room, and a lower level keeps the family together long after dinner.

Materials

The kitchen pairs a single slab of green quartzite with cabinetry in rift-cut walnut. Brass inlay catches the long afternoon light from the western windows.

Past the great room, a stair hall in white oak rises through a clerestory of square panes — a quiet architectural moment that the photographs do not quite capture.

Feature No. 02

Orchard Wood

From above — a modern farmhouse pulled into the woods.

The House

Orchard Wood is a modern farmhouse pulled into the woods. Charcoal and white gables flank a warm cedar core, anchored by a decorative tree-pattern screen at the entry — a quiet signature visible long before you reach the door.

Inside, vaulted volumes carry an exposed beam across the great room and dining, with timber accent walls that echo the exterior. A central courtyard between the wings turns the home outward; the lower level keeps the family at play after dark.

The Approach

The drive curves toward the home through long grass. The first thing visible is the cedar wall and its metal tree screen — a piece of architecture that reads as ornament, but resolves the elevation.

Feature No. 03

Red Cherry

Red Cherry — modern farmhouse of linked gray pavilions on open acreage
The approach — linked pavilions across open acreage.

The House

Red Cherry sits on open acreage as a small compound — a sequence of linked gray pavilions with generous proportions and quiet courtyards between them. The plan is single-level and unhurried.

Light moves through the home as the day turns. Rooms open onto the landscape; sliding walls of glass dissolve the threshold between inside and out. Nothing here announces itself.

Inside

The threshold is deliberate. A long entry pulls visitors past a wall of windows before the house opens up; the building withholds its full reveal until you are properly inside it.

Upstairs, a small loft sits above the great room — a private station that watches the lawn turn from morning gold to evening blue.
