Masonry Institute of Tennessee - AIA Tennessee Awards

This year's Excellence Award goes to Hefferlin + Kronenberg's private Hunting and Fishing Cabin. The cabin is located in a remote rural area of Tennessee on the Cumberland Plateau. The 20-year-old development was conceived to protect the natural environment and to capture the beauty of the area.

Stone was a natural choice as a material because it fit in with the mountain retreat design. Tennessee sandstone, installed by fifth-generation, local stonemasons, was used throughout the stonework. The base of the building, exterior retaining walls and a fire pit (all of which were stone) create outdoor spaces to enjoy the surroundings through all seasons. A screened porch, designed as an exterior dining room, also features a stone fireplace.
