Channing Glover is a designer located in the quaint lake community of Lake Waccamaw, North Carolina.  My philosophy is to create pieces of architecture that are inherently Modern but draws inspiration from the vernacular structures of the surrounding area.  This process is defined through the use of indigenous forms, local materials, and methods of construction.  We specialize in small modern homes, shelter architecture, and modern furniture.

### Reviews

**★★★★★ — mmsmoker, June 2026**

> Our experience with Glover Design was very good.  We have been engaged for several years with Channing on a lot that we purchased years ago for concept development for usage on a tricky lot.  We sold this lot and never built but thought he was inventive on site planning and innovative on the overall space planning.  This never went to a full architectural design, but it hooked us on Channing to use in the future.  Fast forward a few years and we found the lot for our forever home and did not hesitate to know who we wanted to engage for this project.  In this design the space flows very well and he exhibited a unique take on material usage on the exterior and created a very livable floor plan on the interior.  If we were to build a house again Channing would be at the top of our list.  See MOD Ranch on Glover Design's project list.

**★★★★★ — HU-463839555, May 2022**

> Channing did a fantastic job with designing our new lake front home. He met with us and we told him what we wanted. He managed to take our list of ideas and create what we think was a beautiful plan that turned into a beautiful home! We could not be happier with the end product!!! Thanks, Channing!

**★★★★★ — Lindsey, Jan. 2022**

> Channing has been our architect on 2 homes now - our primary residence and second/beach home. When we decided to build a second home, there was no question who we were calling for design!
>
> Channing listens to his clients needs and in our experience has “nailed it” on first attempts. He is so easy to work with and never gives any push back despite my many “tweaks” along the way. He is efficient and timely in getting plans back with updates. Channing’s style can really be whatever you want, but he always has great ideas. We wanted our beach house to have a more historic/traditional appearance with a modern flair and Channing touched it up with his staple rafter tails and details and it’s truly perfect.

> Thank you Channing!!

**★★★★★ — Nate Bobbett, Jan. 2022**

> Glover Design was the best experience we've ever had with a designer. Channing took personal interest in our project. He communicated frequently. He listened to what we wanted and then blew us away with the design he drew up. We had a few small suggestions along the way and Channing was very responsive - while still creating a space and design that was both functional and stylish. He has a creative eye for blending both traditional and modern styles. He knows how to maximize space for highest efficiency. Beyond all that we found Channing to be personable and easy to work with. We've already decided he will be our first choice for our next project.

**★★★★★ — Erica Kesler, Jan. 2022**

> Channing Glover was excellent to work with designing our custom home. He used information we provided about the desired living area layout, specific rooms, and overall look and created the perfect design for us. We are very pleased with the final product and would highly recommend his services!

**★★★★★ — alperjr, Jan. 2022**

> We highly recommend Glover Design. Channing started the process with taking his time to understand our vision.  He truly wanted to know our style, function, and how we would use this space as a family. It was great to see how his creativity enabled him to take our ideas and turn it into our home. He was always accessible and was patient with us as we worked through the drafts until it checked off all of our boxes!

**★★★★★ — Valerie Riege, Jan. 2022**

> Glover Design made my dream home a reality and surpassed my expectations!  Channing was a pleasure to work with, and I would recommend him to design the house of your dreams.  He is collaborative, creative and professional.  I am so glad that I chose him to design my forever home!

**★★★★★ — Heather Olski, Jan. 2021**

> Channing was easy to work with and truly nailed the design for our forever home.  He somehow took the barrage of ideas that we gave him and created a design both functional and beautiful that checked all of our boxes.  I was beyond pleased that Channing managed to take my costal farmhouse style and incorporate many unique industrial elements that my husband loves.  He couldn’t have meshed our personalities any better.  This house will be a genuine representation of us both and a piece of living art.  We can’t wait to see our home brought to life.  Thank you Channing!

**★★★★★ — sarahkober, Oct. 2020**

> We could not have had a better experience working with Channing.   We were honored when he took on our project and even happier with the end results.  Channing helped us design the perfect home for our family. We came to the table with a lot of ideas but Channing helped work through some of the design we could not finalize. In the end, we could not be happier. Our build has begun and we are so excited to see the end result. Thank you Channing for your input, time and consideration.

**★★★★★ — lisashawbug, May 2020**

> Channing did a fantastic job with designing a home for us. He managed to take our list of ideas and create a beautiful plan. His attention to detail continues to be thoughtful to our overall wishes and design. We give him our highest and most respected recommendation!

**★★★★★ — thepenguin Gunn, Dec. 2019**

> Channing has been absolutely amazing! His attention to detail and creativity is unparallel.  He worked in a timely manner throughout the entire process. Channing thinks outside the box which is what drew us to him. We highly recommend anyone who wants to build a true piece of art they can proudly call home.

**★ — HU-946612720, April 2019**

> My family and I were undecided about building on our land after the hurricane Florence. We wanted to build our own house and had been in contact with Channing about designing our dream home. After going back and forth with financing we decided to go with his company, a few days later finances fell through and we explained the situation and tried to get our money back. He informed us that wouldn’t be possible and I thought we worked out a deal to use that deposit for a future project but he decided against that again. Hope you have your ducks in a row because he is not understanding of personal situation.

  - Description: When Channing Glover of Glover Design LLC and Annah Norris of Isabella Grace Refined Homes began collaborating on a modern farmhouse-style build in Wilmington, North Carolina, they knew that they wanted a way to open up the kitchen to the adjacent screened porch for entertaining. Channing discovered the ActivWall Gas Strut Window while researching the custom-built home in the Anchors Bend neighborhood. It was a perfect solution.

## Community Q&A

**Q: We're driving by this beautiful project every day this week!** *(in Photo Questions)*

It's our week in Topsail and this beaut of a beach house design is a great addition to its row of beach front houses. Just wanted to wave and say thank you to who and however was behind the design.  Very original. Love the facade.  Bravo!

A: Glad you like it. Looks amazing from beach as it is nested in the dunes. Walkout is straight from 2nd floor. Feel free to reach out anytime 910 660 3606 or gloverdesignllc@gmail.com

**Q: porch ceiling color** *(in Photo Questions)*

Hi, love the blue on this porch ceiling. What products and color did you use.

A: Sandi: The color is BM 687 Annapolis Green

**Q: How  much  for  this  Carport  for  two  cars?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: I do not recall, but could ask my builder if you like?

**Q: Where did you obtain the cafe bars?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: I designed them and had them fabricated from a local marine fabricator.

**Q: Door hardware** *(in Photo Questions)*

Can you tell me about the door hardware used here?  The track is a side-mount.  Are there two guides?  Midway on the vertical and at the bottom?   Is it possible to find this kind of hardware online?  Or is through a dealer/distributor only?  Thanks.

A: The hardware is by national hardware...Can get it at most hardware stores...There are two specific types...Box rail with metal rollers (loud) and round rail with derlin rollers (like skateboard wheels)...quite...Hope this helps.  What looks like guides is part of the facade.
