He provides a detailed set of working plans so that contractors can easily figure out their bids for the construction. He said that he tries as hard as he can to keep the rural character in projects he works on. He said, “I am not wedded to any one style. I enjoy doing things very traditional, looking at them in a modern way.”
The houses he has designed in Rappahannock County show his versatility and ability to work with clients’ wishes. The house he did for Dr. Jerry Martin and his wife Mary Beth is in the Jeffersonian style. Dr. Werner Krebser’s new home is a mixture of stone and tudor. He designed a large addition for a Victorian house known as Belle Meade, owned by Susan Hoffman and Michael Biniek in the F.T. Valley, which is now a bed and breakfast and site of a summer camp. He also built a separate kitchen at the Conyers House to match the original building which dates back to the 1700s. An addition at the Foster-Harris House in Washington which is presently under construction is also Mr. Matthew’s design. The Rappahannock County Library was his design too.
Mr. Matthews often works on three or four projects at a time, and said that most of his clients come from referrals from former clients. Most are in Rappahannock County, though he does some work in surrounding counties.
Mr. Matthews will be participating in the Fourth Annual Piedmont Virginia Home Show which will take place on March 25 at the Floyd Binns School in Culpeper.
