the staggered
modern house

The Staggered Modern Home is a tale of two worlds--two distinct stories that play out in real time in one of Chattanooga’s oldest neighborhoods. Mostly populated with homes from the early 20th century, Dartmouth Street hardly seems like the place where one would find one of Chattanooga’s boldest modern homes. The house itself sits perched on the foundation of a decades-old home, the remnants of which still serve as the dark gray first floor. The exterior consists of an asymmetric structure with two distinct floors like modern building blocks placed on top of one another. This awardwinning design is brash, bold, and incredibly beautiful. Floor-to-ceiling windows adorn the top floor, giving each of the four bedrooms views of the surrounding neighborhood. The interior matches the home’s modern aesthetic with gorgeously crafted cabinetry, a floating staircase, and natural hardwood floors. Every inch of the home--from the bathroom tile to the kitchen faucet--creates a harmonious feeling of simplicity and elegance in a completely contemporary language.
