Durand Residence

Located in Knoxville, Tennessee, the Durand Residence is a compact two-story home designed to make efficient use of a narrow urban lot while creating a distinctive contemporary living environment. The architecture combines simple gabled forms with projecting window bays, modern panel siding, dark metal accents, and upper-level balconies that bring depth and character to the exterior.

The ground floor includes a bedroom, bathroom, home office, covered patio, and an integrated carport with electric-vehicle charging. The primary living spaces are elevated to the second floor, where an open kitchen, dining, and living area connects to multiple Juliet balconies through expansive windows and folding glass doors. A private primary suite, laundry, and carefully integrated storage complete the upper level, creating a light-filled home that balances privacy, functionality, and indoor-outdoor living.
