Project Description
Priorities
• Incorporate a sunroom addition into the landscaped backyard
Solutions
The owners of this traditional home in Nashville wanted a new sunroom
extending off the back of the house into their shaded, heavily wooded
backyard. Scott Wilson Architect and Phipps Construction obliged,
creating an addition that is integrated into the landscaping. Atop a
steep hillside surrounded by trees the room has the feeling of a tree
house.
The window-lined room connects the home to the great
outdoors while providing a space to relax or entertain guests. Walls of
windows and a cupola allow light to flood in during the day. The sunroom
opens onto a small balcony that offers views of the lush backyard.
Inside, a dining area and a masonry fireplace make the sunroom versatile
and a welcoming space in all seasons.
Judges’ Comments
The judges praised this addition as “a beautiful little room [and] a
sweet place to hang out,” complimenting details like the pretty balcony,
cupola, and brick arch.
