Stuart Heights

A Southern Return with a SoCal Twist

When the new owners of this Stuart Heights home returned to Chattanooga with their teenagers after years away, they brought with them a style that blends Southern tradition with a touch of laid-back SoCal cool. Their vision was clear: a home that balanced timeless elegance with modern comforts, creating spaces perfect for entertaining family during the holidays or hosting a group of teenagers for movie night.

Guided by the homeowners’ effortless sophistication and approachable charm, we crafted a design that mirrored their personality—rooted in tradition yet alive with fresh energy. Saturated colors and textured walls anchor the home, adding depth and intentionality to each space. These rich hues are complemented by sophisticated fabrics, while heirloom pieces and artwork are woven throughout, lending a personal touch that honors generations past.

The heart of the home is designed for connection and comfort, with thoughtful spaces that bring people together. At pool level, a versatile retreat serves as a hangout for teenagers and doubles as a guest suite for visiting family and friends.

This Stuart Heights transformation is a testament to the power of blending history with modernity, creating a home that feels both deeply rooted and refreshingly current—a true reflection of its gracious, down-to-earth owners.

"Miles and Kirk exceeded every expectation we had when we started our whole house design. They have been thoughtful, creative, and mindful of our budget. When friends come over they comment on how beautiful, warm and inviting the house is. There is a reason behind every choice and option they have given us. Things we never would have thought about on our own. Thank you Miles and Kirk!"
