Willow Oak

This modern residence features a blend of cypress and mill-finished steel, with large sliding doors seamlessly integrating indoor and outdoor spaces. Efforts were made to preserve the natural surroundings, with the six-car garage, known as The Moto Dojo, cleverly concealed with a green roof and rooftop deck. Solar panels power the house and electric cars. […]

McDowell Mixed Use

The McDowell Mixed Use building is an exercise in community collaboration and innovation. The building is four stories tall, with ground-level retail and 65 residential units above. The three retail spaces invoke a traditional outdoor shopping experience, without sacrificing the neighborhood feel. The massing of the building is meant to feel as if it’s three […]

Greyfriars Residence

Most lakefront homes create a barrier — a large, unnatural obstacle that blocks beautiful views of the lake and natural surroundings. This modern lakefront structure was designed to become part of the landscape so visitors could enjoy the lake from anywhere on the property.  The first job was to situate the home perfectly to maximize […]

Suffolk Punch – South End

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 […]

Southbound

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

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 […]

Haberdish

The design combined a desire for a cohesive indoor/outdoor dining experience and for a modern restaurant that features refined southern food with a twist. Just as the chefs serve ethical and local, southern-inspired food, the design of the […]

Queen City Grounds

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 […]
