House of the Week: Modern Cabin in Tennessee

Every week, we highlight one amazing Dwell home that went viral on Pinterest. Follow Dwell's Pinterest account for more daily design inspiration.

This week, our Pinterest fans were enamored by this clean-lined house in East Tennessee. The 2,500-square-foot house—a modern rendition of a dogtrot, spliced into a Y shape and clad in black metal—was designed by Sanders Pace Architecture for Laura Sohn and Carlos Anderson.

The metal cladding, inspired by a nearby zinc mine, continues seamlessly onto the house’s roof for a minimalist shed effect. “The drip edge turns to make the wall,” explains architect Brandon Pace, “but changes above the window to accommodate a downspout. Any place where the metal contacts glass, or where you walk underneath, we have an internal gutter.”
