YORK and BIRMINGHAM,
Ala., Aug. 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/
-- Southern Living debuts the highly anticipated cover story
featuring the 2023 Idea House across platforms. The cover story
gives a behind-the-scenes look at this year's Idea House, a
reimagined contemporary farmhouse nestled in the hills of
Tennessee outside of Nashville. Open now for tours in Thompson's
Station through December 17, the home
showcases a harmonious blend of modernity, sustainability, and the
unmistakable charm of Tennessee.
The 2023 Idea House is featured in the September 2023 issue of Southern Living, on
newsstands now and online at SouthernLiving.com.
This year's Idea House spans 5,600 square feet and includes
three bedrooms, an airy home gym, a garden folly, and an outdoor
entertaining area flanked by a pool and party barn. From the
recording studio inspired by Nashville's music culture, to the color
palette tailored to emphasize the natural scenery that surrounds
the home, every detail celebrates the home's environment. The home
was designed with a mix of styles and materials to infuse the
modern touches of a new build with the warmth and character of a
classic Tennessee farmhouse.
"We wanted this house to reflect the beauty of its surroundings
and the traditions of rural Tennessee architecture, but it's also very
forward looking, with countless ideas for thoughtful, sustainable
design," said Sid Evans, Editor in
Chief of Southern Living. "Every square inch of this house is
inspiring."
The 2023 Idea House was created by a talented team of experts
including interior designer Laura
Hodges of Laura Hodges Studio, architects
Bill Holloway and Luke Sippel of Lake and Land Studio,
builders Mary and Patrick
Hatcliff of Hatcliff Construction, and landscape
designer Butch Hamby of
Southern Creations Landscaping.
Products and designs from 15 national sponsors of the 2023 Idea
House integrated within the home include Alabama Stone Co. (A
Division of Vetter Stone), Clopay,
Command™ Brand, James Hardie,
Kerrygold, Marvin®, Monogram Luxury Appliances, PEDIGREE®, Phantom
Screens, Regina Andrew,
Sherwin-Williams, Southern Living® Home Collection Exclusively at
Dillard's, Southern Living ® Plant Collection, SUMMER CLASSICS, and
Zuri® Premium Decking.
Deirdre Finnegan, VP/Group
Publisher of Southern Living said, "For over 35 years, our Idea
House program has showcased the very best in design and innovation,
and this year's home is no exception. We are grateful for our
esteemed sponsors and partners, whose exceptional products and
offerings have continued to bring this vision to life."
The home is now open to the public for tours through
December 17. A portion of the
proceeds will benefit Hands On Nashville, Harpeth Conservancy, and
Make-A-Wish Middle Tennessee. To purchase tickets, please visit
