You probably won’t have to worry about archers and invaders on horseback, but that doesn’t mean this lookout-inspired home in the Smoky Mountains is pointless. Designed by Pfeffer Torode Architecture, the unique home shoots up instead of out, allowing occupants to enjoy 360° views after scaling the stunning spiral staircase. A variety of inviting materials were used throughout, including leather, steel, and hide, as the architects tried to use local goods as much as possible. One of the many highlights includes a 19th century Swiss farmhouse sink that aids in giving this home a historic feel. Check out more shots at Pfeffer Torode’s site. Moat not included.

Huckberry’s Essential Holiday Gift Guide
Unzip your coat and have some mulled wine on the house—you’ve arrived at your final gifting destination: The Holiday Gift Guide. It’s like your friendly neighborhood one-stop holiday shop, except instead of balsa wood ornaments, ours is packed with thoughtful gifts for everyone on your list. Future heirlooms, small-but-significant stocking stuffers, and gear for getting out there (or staying in)—are all right here. There’s no music playing in the background though, so you’ll just have to hum Bing Crosby while you click around instead.
