the modern bungalow

The Modern Bungalow was originally built in the 1930s and many considered this home a tear down. The porches sagged, the roof was disintegrating, and the wood panel walls were unacceptable. Preserving this home’s frame wasn’t easy, but building on its character-filled husk, it was transformed into a contemporary modern retreat in one of Chattanooga’s most popular neighborhoods. The resulting redesign is almost unrecognizable. An open and airy kitchen runs almost the whole length of the home. Slate colored cabinets complement the soft whites and grays on the countertops and walls. Rich chocolate hardwood floors harken to the home’s past while supporting the contemporary vision applied to the renovation.Preserving this small home’s personality, the goal was to save this slice of history, bringing it squarely into the 21st century.
