Newspaper Page TextBent Tree Homes Run Gamut; Polyrama-Polynesian Design JASPER, (PRN) - That resort home in your family’s future, what’s it going to look like? Polyrama, Polynesian, ship’s prow, Americanized chalet, Hansel and Gretel cottage or contemporary cliff climber. Bent Tree, new luxury mountain resort near Jasper, shows a cross section of the latest trends in second-home architecture in its almost 100 homes, * completed or under construction. One popular style is the round house or polygon, in many variations. These multi-sided homes - with six, eight or as many sides as you like - offer a different view of mountain scenery from each glass side. One Bent Tree family designed theirs in two stories so that even the downstairs bedrooms have an all-around, all-glass view of the woods outside. Another version sits airily on an open, flying buttress foundation. The owners of the latter get a true, tree top view of Blue Ridge scenery. Still another Bent Tree round house is side-by-side style. It consists of a pair of one-story polyramas, joined by a closed foyer-passageway. One unit is for living-dining and partying and the other, a quiet sleeping area. An exotic Polynesian accent comes in several “tiki” type houses at Bent Tree. These have steep shingled roofs that rise to a sky-lighted double peek. The vaulted living area below is bathed in mountain sunlight. There are several versions of the impressive, glass-fronted “prow house,” adaptable to Subscribe for Your Home Newspaper ioth ^Kb^b BB ^^B^B ^B ^^B ^B ^B ^^B ^^^B ^^^B I & {9^-I%^ ^bk %& be?3b BKt js& bb "^Mh- Uf 3? tB ^^^b ! & ■ 'Sf^ * 9 9 '"5 ""•"B" 11 *"*^ B’ B^B ^B^B ' 'o Sr I ^B -tq & , K & Chancey’s Standard Station i YOU DO NOT REMEMBER 10 YEARS AGO AS YOU WOULD REMEMBER MAN'S LANDING ON THE MOON .7. .

The name comes from its glass facade that rises two or three stories to a jutting, overhang roofline. The silhouette resembles a sleek, ship’s prow. And decks surrounding the house at each story-level not only look appropriate but substantially extend living space. Many versions of the Alpine chalet are dotted through the Bent Tree community but so Americanized that only the scalloped roof trims and carved porch rails give them a chalet look. Updated, elaborate A-frames are in evidence, greatly refined from their simple, ski-cottage beginnings. One has a super-peaked roof with gingerbread balconies and Hansel and Gretel Style carved window frames straight out of “Hansel and Gretel.” Another is a large, handsome A-shape with the ground story tapered to make all interior space usable. Appropriate building materials for a wooded resort setting? Exterior of most homes here combine rough-sawn wood siding with whole walls of glass. Roofs add still more texture, covered with wood shingles or shakes. And for the final indigenous touch, Bent Tree homes use lots of stone work. Foundations are faced with stone; flag-stones pave contoured walkways and outside walls are made of multi-colored mountain rocks. And most of the earth-colored stones come from the nr^uwn ( Some Mexican Chihuahua dogs weigh only 16 oz. T/ L One Version of “Round House” property owners’ own yards or nearby quarries. Several homes feature “blue rock,’ the slate-like rocks that the Bent Tree and Jasper area is famous for, in foundations and to face entire interior walls, often centered with a giant fireplace. Exterior wood decks are everywhere, serving the purpose of outdoor terraces or patios without the expense of masonry. And vaulted ceilings are a popular interior design, often covering the sleeping as well as living-dining areas. These add spaciousness, give character to interior decor with their huge, exposed ceiling beams and often allow space on the second story level for a small balcony or bedroom.
