This gorgeous contemporary house, designed by Pfeffer Torode Architecture, is located in Nashville, Tennessee. The modern design of this home, paired with traditional building materials of stucco exterior and plaster interior, produces a refined but impactful design. The program is pushed to the sides to provide for indoor/outdoor connection through the heart of the house, allowing all rooms to have a relationship to the outdoors.
Floor-to-ceiling windows and doors in the Gallery, running along the back of the Salon, connect the front views of Percy Warner Park to the back wooded hillside/rock outcropping/pool area. The breakfast room in the kitchen pushes into the exterior living space with large corner windows. The countertop height wood-burning fireplace in the kitchen provides a cozy backdrop for gathering and entertaining.

Past a large motor court with a grass island in the center is the entry to this transitional homestead.

Multiple forms create the compound that makes up this home. Stucco and planked siding pair with the metal, standing seam roof and steel windows to marry traditional and modern elements. Landscape architect Ben Page chose autumn ferns, hydrangeas and green gem boxwoods for this Tennessee property.
