MODERN | EDGEHILL, NASHVILLE, TN

4 BEDS | 3.5 BATHS | 2,388 SQ. FT.

Scandinavian modern is really a simple form style of design, meaning that there's a minimalist approach to everything from the overall massing of the house to the detailing and even the layout.

The massing is based on agrarian buildings that are dotted across the Scandinavian countryside and the simple houses found in fishing villages along the fjords. Simple forms, yet bold movements. Every detail matters.

Most houses being built around Nashville right now are full of ornamentation. That's why these houses are so unique to our city. Less is more when designing in this style. And when the focus is on the minimalist details, every batten counts. The railing design matters. The spacing of the windows across the wall is subtle, yet arranged in a clean, bold movement and most importantly optimizes the natural light. It's simple, yet bold.

Contour

MODERN | FAIRVIEW, TN

4 BEDS | 4.5 BATHS | 4,004 SQ. FT.

Nestled into a hill on 5 beautiful acres of Tennessee woodlands, this is a truly one of a kind house designed to follow the contours of the land. The common areas were oriented to incorporate natural light all day long and have direct access to the outdoors. The elevated screened porch and deck has panoramic views of the surrounding ravine and grassy meadow.

This California modern style home has details like a curving limestone wall, shed style standing seam metal roofs, tall vaulted ceilings in most of the rooms on the main floor, and access to the outdoors from almost every bedroom.

We also headed up the interior design for this project. Custom designed cabinetry, wide plank wood flooring, ornate lighting, tilework, and countertops were just a few of the things we put together. Other details like wall mounted faucets over vessel sinks made this house come alive with creativity.

The landscape/site design was done in house as well. Designing a house into a hillside is no small feat. With that comes crucial detailing for retaining walls, driveways and walks.

  • Modern ranch style house with a full walkout basement

  • Open kitchen, dining and living area with tons of natural light

  • Master suite on the main floor

  • Three other en suite bedrooms

  • Private office

  • Four-car attached garage
