Forest Hills is known for wooded lots, winding roads and large homes near Hillsboro Road and Granny White Pike. Owners often want more room, better flow and outdoor spaces that connect to the trees.

Homes and buildings we typically see in Forest Hills

Mature trees, slopes and generous setbacks shape projects here. Additions should feel as if they were always part of the house, and new homes should sit comfortably on the land. Careful drainage and tree protection keep the property healthy.

What Forest Hills owners ask for

A call could be about a kitchen and family room, a new primary suite or a whole house on a larger lot.

How we work with Forest Hills projects

We design with the land in mind and write a clear scope before drawing starts. We begin with a Free Estimate, look at your property and your goals and write a clear scope, so you know exactly what the design work includes before drawings begin.

Every Music City Architect project starts with a conversation and a careful look: the property, the building and the way you use the space. You get a written estimate, a clear schedule and one contact for questions, and we keep drawings and decisions clear from start to finish.

Local notes for Forest Hills

  • Wooded lots call for careful siting and tree protection.
  • Slopes may allow walkout basements and terraces.
  • Additions should echo the proportions of the original house.
