May 2026: siding
and exterior finish.
The black A-frame emerges
This month the cabin really took shape. The deep matte-black board-and-batten and standing-seam metal panels are going up fast, and you can finally see the silhouette we've been chasing. Construction is moving quickly: windows are getting their final seals, the dormers are wrapped, and the Scandinavian exterior is reading exactly the way we hoped. Next up: the last sections of trim and shifting focus back inside.
Drywall is done
The walls are up and the interior is starting to feel like a real home. With the drywall finished, every room finally has its defined edges. You can walk through and imagine exactly where the couch sits, where the bed goes, and how the light will hit the great room in the morning. Next up: paint, trim, and the finish work that brings it all together.
Inside the frame
Interior framing is underway. The bones of every room are taking shape. Standing inside the cabin for the first time you feel just how dramatic that soaring ceiling is going to be. Electrical rough-in and insulation are next on deck.
The A-frame rises
The full A-frame is up against a clear Shenandoah sky. The dark steel roof is complete, the deck platform is framed, and the triangular window wall is in place. Seeing it from a distance with the Blue Ridge behind it: this is exactly what we pictured.
It all started here
Before there was a single nail or beam, there was this view. Rolling meadows, ancient oaks, and the Blue Ridge mountains stretching to the horizon. We knew this was the spot the moment we stood here in the fall. HOM Villas was born on this hillside in Luray, Virginia.
Paint, trim, and finish work
Walls go from drywall to color. Trim runs. Doors hang. The interior starts to feel less like a job site and more like a place you'd live in.
Interior fit-out and hot tub
Kitchen install, bathroom finishes, furniture in. The deck builds out and the hot tub goes in facing the ridge.
Doors open
