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.
