Board-and-Batten Home Addition

Type: Primary Suite Addition
Location: Lookout Mountain
Year completed: 2026
Approximate size: 900 square feet

A 900-square-foot primary suite addition on a Lookout Mountain home, finished in board-and-batten siding with cedar shake gables so the new wing reads as part of the original house rather than an attachment.

Inside the addition: a bedroom under a vaulted shiplap ceiling, a walk-in closet built out floor to ceiling on both walls, and a full bath with a tiled walk-in shower, a double vanity and a cedar sauna.
