For our final Fall semester, we were tasked with designing a boutique hotel located in Pigeon Forge, TN.

We were given the shell of an existing building to serve as the architectural and structural bounds of our project.

Inspiration came from the cabins of the Great Smoky Mountains and the functions of a front porch and a back porch.
