heavy timbers of the cathedral ceiling. Castleton woodworker Philip Strange built the wooden mantel and bathroom cabinets, and the Teppers are really pleased with his work.
A red bam built on the property serves as Mr. Tepper’s architectural office; though he closed his office in Vienna, he is hoping to find more work in Rappahannock. In his spare time he also works on making custom mailboxes and cedar root lamps.
Longtime friends Jim and Joan Gannon live in a house designed by Mr. Tepper; they share part of their driveway and live close enough that they can walk to each other’s houses. It is also close enough that their dogs can visit each other often too.
Mr. Gannon said that he and his wife had a vague idea of what they wanted in a house and that Mr. Tepper turned it- into a workable plan. Mr. Gannon, a writer, said that he knew he wanted a library with a fireplace and a palladium window. “We wanted a house that would fit into the country,” he said, adding that they wanted to leave the land as natural as possible surrounding the house. “That is a super client,” said Mr. Tepper.
Two huge white oak trees dominate the backyard of the Gannons, with branches that spread almost to where the deck on the house begins. Large white oak timbers frame the ceiling in the living room though they were not cut on the property. The Gannons did have some maple cut on the property to use for the walls of the library. “It is great to have a reverence for nature and he has it,” said Mr. Tepper about his friend Mr. Gannon.
