The South End neighborhood was ground zero for Charlotte’s emerging craft beer scene, and the Suffolk Punch’s first location was at the heart of it. Visible from the light rail and marked by a grain silo at one end and a tower in the courtyard, the Suffolk Punch has quickly become an area landmark as […]
For the Southbound concept, we wanted to make sure the clientele could enjoy the space no matter the season. The open-air atmosphere of the dining room and bright, cheery decor project a sunny SoCal vibe. We repurposed every piece of an existing shipping container, using the walls for cladding and planters, and using the floor […]
The Goodyear House Restaurant is a tribute to a simple premise rooted in rural mid-western life: if the farm had a good year, you could add onto the house. Built in 1900, the structure started as a mill home. It has gone through a series of renovations over the past 120 years. This latest transformation […]
Nestled in NODA’s historic mill village fabric, Haberdish exemplifies a focus on detail and creative problem solving.

The 3,200-square foot design was wide open but comfortable, with plenty of tables and seating and a few plants to soften the look. Quick turnover was not the name of the game at Queen City Grounds. The look is clean and modern with white walls, earth tones, and rustic cabinetry and trim. A 19-foot by […]
The Common Market has become a Charlotte institution. The owners’ original concept seemed simple — a modern take on the general stores of the past. Always a neighborhood gathering place, the market grew into a deli, then a pub, then a music venue. The South End store (the Common Market’s 2nd location) opened in 2008 […]
The building, a former auto garage and industrial equipment supplier, is nearly 11,000 square feet. To stabilize the historic concrete block building, an L- shaped pour-in-place concrete wall was required. The wall was left exposed for dramatic effect. Cluck’s designers chose to capture and honor its roots by glazing the original garage door bays. The […]
Charlotte’s Plaza Midwood neighborhood is known for its relaxed vibe and eclectic mix of consignment shops, pubs, and tattoo shops. With the nightlife covered, Plaza Midwood needed a place for the community to come together during the day—a cozy coffee shop with plenty of comfortable seating. Welcome to Undercurrent—a neighborhood hangout with gourmet coffee and […]
In 1968, the Ford Body Company built a grouping of pre-engineered metal buildings on the side of a quiet road in Greensboro. Years passed and the retirement of 3rd generation owner Lynn Ford marked an end to this stalwart Greensboro company. Today, Battleground Avenue is a thriving 6-lane thoroughfare. The owners of Mac’s Speed Shop […]
