The Degroot/Johnson Residence, also known as the Winehouse, was completed in 2010 and is located in Robbinsville, North Carolina.  Nestled on a slope in the Great Smokey Mountains, this retreat was designed for a creative husband (tv producer) and wife (hand bag designer), who wanted to be as much a part of the land when working as when spending time together.  The main house greets you at the bottom of the drive while the guest house and two studios continue to cascade downhill.  The lower level on the main house also serves as work space for making and storing wine from the vineyards that weave past the studios into the valley.
