TENN CABIN

This forest cabin renovation tucked within the wooded hills of Smoky Mountains - Tennessee.

This renovation project reimagines a rustic cabin into a refined, modern retreat — without erasing its past or disrupting its natural surroundings. The architectural intervention was guided by a deep appreciation for the site: mature trees were preserved, the original footprint was respected, and the design decisions were made to enhance the existing dialogue between structure and forest.

Natural cross-ventilation, strategic solar orientation, and passive shading elements allow the cabin to breathe with its environment, achieving comfort without reliance on excess. The use of raw, local materials reinforces the sense of place, while subtle contemporary touches elevate the spatial experience.

This transformation honors the original spirit of the cabin while crafting a more sustainable, elevated way of inhabiting the forest.
