Shortly after starting my firm in 1982 one of my neighbors in Historic Fourth Ward asked if I would design the renovation of a three story 1890's building in downtown Charlotte for use by his law firm. The building had been stripped of al of it's historic features and was finished with stucco. Due to the size of the project I worked in the offices of Reg Narmour. My first order of business was to create a three story lobby with a monumental stair. During the design process the Owner and i traveled to New York City and Connecticut in search of architectural elements for inside and out. There we found bronze doors and light fixtures, paneling from the 17th Century and countless other historic artifacts. By the time the renovation was complete I had renovated a two story walk up next door for my offices.

Notre Dame, a waterjet glass mosaic shown in Lapis Lazuli, Cat’s Eye, Angelite, Sardonyx, Citrine, and 24K Gold, is part of the Ville Lumière Collection by Caroline Beaupère for New Ravenna.

From the moment this pendant and this tile met it was love at first sight! The stunning combination oozes style and brilliance. You can feel the movement in these fixed finishes.

This primary ensuite transformation converted an underutilized home office into a serene, nature-inspired retreat. Drawing inspiration from the lush forests surrounding the home and the homeowners’ travels through Central American rainforests, the design creates a seamless connection between indoors and out. A reimagined layout, abundant natural light, and direct access to an outdoor hot tub enhance the spa-like experience. Custom Curly Maple vanities and beam wraps, handcrafted by the homeowner and a master cabinet maker, pair beautifully with striking Rainforest Green marble, green herringbone tile, pebble mosaics, and raw cement sinks. The result is a warm, immersive sanctuary that celebrates craftsmanship, natural materials, and a deep connection to place.

Evenings that feel calm, fresh, and beautifully lit. We designed this front yard and verandah to stay green year-round, with soft lighting, flowering plants, a lush lawn, and a cozy sit-out covered in vines. A simple space, made warm and welcoming. ?✨
