The client purchased a small urban lot in the popular Southside neighborhood of Chattanooga to be used as a second home. They wanted a residence that would reflect both the character of the surrounding architecture and their own outdoorsy and environmentally-conscious personality. A traditional bungalow became the model we used to discuss the features they desired. By providing a large and welcoming front porch, as well as warm exterior materials and architectural detailing, the home has a sense of timelessness often lacking in contemporary buildings. On the interior, hand-cast concrete sinks, handmade tile, reclaimed oak flooring, walnut cabinetry and stainless steel countertops create a rich material palette. A small courtyard between the house and the DADU in the rear of the property provides a private garden for relaxation and gardening.
