Cades Cove Cantilever Barn
“When those hated tax men finally made his way up to Cades Cove and started pokin’ around and assessing property tax on the folks who lived there, they quickly realized that it was the footprint square footage that determined the tax rate on each building. Well, the w***y mountaineers quickly changed the design of their sheds incorporating a smaller footprint with a larger overhang, and just like that, they cut the property taxes on the building in half and the Cantilever Barn was born. At one time, there were nearly 200 of these barns in Sevier and Blount Counties. The barn had additional benefits such as allowing for storage for tools and even provided a place to get out of the rain for the smarter cows.” -Squire Elroy

So excited to be working with on this Vintage remodel perched on a hill in the woods. Exciting changes include an expanded deck and screen porch, new gloss white cabinets and an open glass stairwell to bring more light into the lower level.

So cool to have plans from over 100 years ago on this one! Starting with a solid structure built to last generations. Now we get to artfully merge it with modern intention.

On the drawing board… Modern renovation of 1916 Carriage House. Very excited about this transformation into a modern gem with Modern Oasis.

It is so humbling to have a homeowner share emphatic kind words like these. This is why we do what we do.

This walnut tree was cut down to build the house, but it was reclaimed and used to make countertops and furniture to make it a home.
