A New Residence ∙ Thompson’s Station, TN
Situated at the top of a hill overlooking an equestrian center and rolling hills, this home was envisioned as a new “old” structure. Prioritizing views to the pastoral setting and using natural materials and vernacular to the region give this home an authentic feel of permanence, seclusion, and comfort. Plaster walls, limestone floors, rough cedar timbers, and refined fixtures lend an air of timelessness to the interiors. The exterior rooms meld with the landscape to create a seamless integration of design & character. The end result is an enduring presence while accommodating for a modern lifestyle.
