On the side of Missionary Ridge in Chattanooga, this modern residence nicknamed the “appalachia house” rises and falls out of the earth like the Appalachian mountains themselves. The expansive glass across the eastern façade looks out over the rolling hills of eastern Tennessee but nestles in nicely amongst it’s forested surroundings. A compact and efficient footprint expands upon it’s idea of being one with the mountains as it still maintains an iconic form.
