Creative Vision

Polyarch is a multifaceted architecture & design studio dedicated to creating harmonious designs unique to particular environments, communities, and individuals. Each project, regardless how large or small, is an opportunity to bring our clients' visions to life through careful attention to their needs, and a clear understanding of each project’s unique conditions. With an intimate appreciation of material, craft, technology, and context, the Polyarch team creates each design with a graceful sensibility.

A native to the Blue Ridge Mountains, Ms. Horne has a deep connection to the natural world and has dedicated her practice to cultivating sustainable and inspiring built environments. Conscientiously balancing new work with existing conditions - be that a site or an existing structure - is not only practical and environmentally sensitive, this approach gives rise to an enriching sense of place for the benefit of city dwellers and country folk alike.
