A few past projects.

Simpson Renovation

  • After finding a house on a great street in Plaza Midwood, it was time for this family to make it their own. But like many families living in in-town Charlotte neighborhoods, they also needed some more space.

  • We started by adding a new garage with an upstairs office and bathroom. We removed the old deck, adding a cozy fireplace, screened in porch and grilling area, and made major exterior updates. Finally, we tackled the home’s interior, adding a new walkthrough pantry, reconfigured the master bathroom and laundry room, and so much more.

  • Now, this home has so much more than amazing Plaza Midwood curb appeal. Not only does it have a fresh style and flow, it fits their family’s busy life - pups included. (See: dog shower in garage, in-cabinet faucet for their water bowl.)

Tippah Garage

  • This family was a bit cramped in their Plaza Midwood bungalow, and explored many options for adding a bit more space. They came to the realization that their detached garage could be put to better use, and things took off from there.

  • We connected them with a designer to develop a plan to expand the existing, detached one-story garage. With the plan in place, our clients said, “let’s blow the roof off” — and we did.

  • The upstairs of the backyard garage now serves as a home office and guest suite, complete with washer/dryer, kitchenette and full bath. Downstairs, the garage, garden room, and toy closet are a better use of space than the original layout.

Interior stairway with wooden treads and black metal balusters, adjacent to a white door with a keypad lock, featuring a small white closet door underneath the stairs.

West Cama Street Duets

  • This beautiful lot became available in rapidly expanding Lower Southend, so we jumped at the chance to build two family homes on an incredible street.

  • With all design decisions made in advance, this was a very efficient build with extreme care taken in the details. In general, new builds can move quickly since fewer unknowns tend to crop up.

  • This beautiful 4 bedroom home has a huge backyard is on the market and ready for its first owners. See the listing here.

Florida Backyard Office

  • New baby on the way! But that meant Dad was losing his home office. We set up this Plaza Midwood family with a designer to plan for a standalone, detached backyard office.

  • We were on a tight schedule to make sure things were in place before baby’s arrival, but wrapped the project just in time.

  • Dad’s loving his separate, quiet office, and the kids still have plenty of backyard play space - which can a true feat in in-town neighborhoods like Plaza Midwood.

Tippah New Build

  • This family lived next door, but couldn’t bear to leave their Plaza Midwood street and neighbors. When they learned their friends next door planned to move to the beach and would be selling their fixer-upper, they jumped at the chance.

  • The original plan was to renovate, but Charlotte zoning challenges changed the plan. We made a few minor tweaks to the plan — including reversing the layout — then began new home construction.

  • From a 3br-1ba bungalow into a 4br-3ba classic. With two offices, a detached garage, a playroom, and a scullery, this family has plenty of space to live, work, and play.

Kensington Expansion

  • This family of three was soon to be four, and their amazing Plaza Midwood home needed a little more space. The downstairs had already been renovated, but upstairs there was more space to grow.

  • We connected this family with an architect who developed a plan for growth that maintained a style that was organic to the original home. Construction took place during the rainiest winter on record, in the middle of a pandemic, and with a newborn — but otherwise, it was seamless.

  • There’s room for everyone (plus guests and toys), beautiful hardwoods and fixtures, and plenty of natural light. A Midwood bungalow doesn’t get much better than this.
