A Chattanooga Home with Classic Tudor Style

A Chattanooga Home with Classic Tudor Style
“For the keeping room, we used really durable, kid-friendly fabrics that can withstand fingerprints but are still pretty in the space,” says Powell. “We also layered rugs, placing a smaller Oushak over a larger, less precious neutral one that grounds the room.” | Photo: Alyssa Rosenheck

Given today’s penchant for gathering in the kitchen, Powell designed a generous working pantry for tucking away all the small appliances and kitchen accouterments. She also created a designated china room to house the homeowners’ tableware collections. “The clean lines of the kitchen and the hidden storage and pantries allow it to serve as both a family area and a sleek entertaining space,” says Powell. Serving nooks between the breakfast room and the outdoor patio contain built-in refrigerator drawers and an icemaker to make an impromptu bar for parties.

The architect took another page from Downton Abbey when planning the transitions between rooms. A barreled-ceiling hallway and chamfered openings create engaging moments that set the tone for the space ahead. These special transitions also give the home instant character in keeping with its incarnation as a Tudor. In addition, graceful millwork and whitewashed beams lend age to the new house. “I especially love the cantilevered windows,” says Powell. “I call them jewel boxes because that is what they remind me of from the inside. And I like how they flood the rooms with natural light.”
