Derris Residence

  • architecture

This custom residence caters to a young, active family with its thoughtfully designed floor plan. Embracing the essence of a “California Farmhouse,” both the exterior and interior feature a simple yet elegant form.

Surrounded by East Tennessee’s forested hills, the U-shaped home embraces a private courtyard, overlooks a swimming pool, and maximizes lighting deep into the floor plan. The gabled roof line is only interrupted by the opportunity for more windows.

The main level boasts an open living space with views onto the private lot.  While the main bedrooms are situated upstairs, and the lower level is earmarked for a future playroom and bunk room.

Shiplap adorns the walls and ceilings, creating a sense of simplicity, while a limited color palette enhances the aesthetic appeal. Stylish accents and fixtures add charm and character throughout the space. Interior design by Stacy Jacobi adds an extra layer of sophistication to this inviting family home.
