COMPLETED 2006

Perched on a mountain high
above Lake Watauga with a
pristine view of the Cherokee
National forest, this 2500 SF
vacation home attempts to allow
its owners unrestricted access
to the beauty of its natural
surroundings. Simple if form,
its shape and orientation were
derived to take the greatest
advantage of the view and in
bringing the outdoors in. The
home is comprised of 3 bedrooms,
1 bunkroom, 2 1/2 bathrooms, a
large open living space, a game
room, a screen porch, and almost
1100 SF of outdoor decks. The
cedar siding, Tennessee
bluestone hearth, exposed glulam
rafters, and other natural wood
details make a connection to the
natural materials of the region,
while the concrete countertops
birch plywood cabinets, and
restaurant type fixtures provide
an industrial utility that is
essential to the way living
activites are performed in this
vacation home.
