The deVille Houseaka Whiteside Villa

165 Deville Drive, Highlands NC

The main architect for the house was Robert Opsahl, with Jim Fox collaborating. Jeff Cox also participated. Fox designed the furniture. Available for rental. According to granddaughter Anne deVille, "Whiteside Villa was the dream of my grandmother, but the local architects at the time told her, 'You can't build on that rock!' Then my grandmother discovered these 'hippies' who said, 'Not only can you build on that rock, you can have a home that looks like no other.' My grandmother was so smitten with these creative gents, she also asked them to also design her furniture. It was the perfect intersection of an artistic client and eager architects wanting to break the mold of conventional home design. My grandmother wanted to incorporate native stones as well as wormy chestnut from a demolished cabin. That inspired these young architects even more. Having grand ideas and designs is meaningless, however, if no one can actually build them. There were incredible craftsmen back then, too, and they vied for the opportunity to show off their expertise. The house has stood the test of time. While the harvest gold carpet and avocado green appliances have been replaced, the house remains a structurally sound work of art."
