Shop Talk - April 2025

Hi!

We’re nearing the start of construction and I thought I’d share some of the details around this very special house. The client is a former college classmate and another architect. She approached me about designing a home to retire with after trying unsuccessfully to buy the Jones Residence when it went on the market.

North Chattanooga House

The home we’ve designed is small at only 2,209 square feet but still packs in some really exciting spaces. Functionally it’s 3 bedrooms, 2 and 1/2 bathrooms, and a small studio. AND it’s been sited and detailed to be net-zero with the addition of a small solar array.

Even with so much happening we were able to include a double height dining room, a small, private screened porch, and courtyard.
