## About

Bowden Environments, LLC is a design firm that is small enough to give a project the custom attention that it needs, and what you desire.

Buildings and the land around them need to be designed; chicken scratch on the back of an envelope doesn't count.  "Design" incorporates much more than aesthetics.  It must function as needed while being aesthetically pleasing; and it must be buildable.  Many fantastic projects on paper have altered greatly while being built because they simply can't be assembled in reality. 

Custom design & remodeling of private homes, barns, horse farms

**★★★★★ — karfar1, Sept. 2021**

> I have a mountain home with a multi level metal roof and a large wraparound deck. I wanted to screen in a significant part of the deck to create a space with a tongue and groove wood ceiling covered by a metal roof that would blend into our existing structure. Two highly recommended screening companies turned us down stating there were too many roof angles to accomplish the job with any quality result.
>
> After some research I hired Kirk Bowden, architect and owner of Bowden Environments LLC. Kirk is a talented professional. He took his time, paid close attention to our needs and goals and was a pleasure to work with. Kirk created a design that would give us the functional space we desired while making sure it would blend in with the current structure to look as if it was built with the original home. Kirk also recommended the right contractor he knew would get the job done correctly. He recommended Adam Spencer of Lifesize dwellings. The architectural drawings were completed and Adam excepted the challenge. The end result far exceeded our expectations. I’m so glad I had the opportunity to work with Kirk Bowden and I highly recommend him for any of your architectural needs

## Community Q&A

**Q: I love this house.** *(in Photo Questions)*

Can you tell me who the designer is and what the siding is on the second story?

A: The house was designed by Kirk Bowden / Bowden Environments, LLC.  The material in the gables is poplar bark.  A material common to NC with maintenance free life of 50-75 years making it popular in gables.
