It's a bit strange to think of a house design that you did, and realize it's around 15 years old! At the time this house was just about complete, a local architect here in Nashville walked through and said something to the effect of "Savor this opportunity. You may never get a chance to do something like this again". I think he meant this in a complementary way- and I took it that way- but now that I look back, I realize he was more right than I would have expected at the time. I've had great opportunities to do nice things, but rarely have I had clients with the vision, resources and time to do this kind of project. There are a few things I would change if I had the chance now- and this house was definitely a product of its time (and my lack of experience), but I still like it and enjoy looking at the photos and plans from time to time. Back then I was with Edwards + Hotchkiss Architects, and received lots of help from Keith Covington and others. Interior design was by Laret Casella- then with the Anderson Design Studio. Good photography was done by Shannon Fontaine and Donna Yancey, bad photography by me!
