A swooping charcoal-gray stone wall tells the story of this modern home in one gentle but generous gesture. Enveloping trees, entry, living room, and vistas all at once separates the main wing for two from an in-law suite and carefully guides this ensemble around
a set of mature tress. Lightly placing this house on a heavily wooded Charlotte, NC site while keeping the natural setting intact, paired with concerns of privacy, sunlight, and views of nature has made the initial design phase especially fun and challenging.

Designed around a courtyard, this modern home both extends the interior views outwards and creates a sense of privacy. We carefully calibrated the proportions of all the volumes forming the building, as well as the size of the courtyard, to emphasize these qualities. The highly polished concrete floor is continuous throughout the entire house. Wood slats, metal siding, and exposed masonry round off the material palette.

Adding to the visual drama are the stunning congrats of color and finish. Here, the exquisite dark brown stone and glass mosaic tiles are infused with spotted reflective silver ones, creating a modernist random tile pattern. Set against this hard, dark surface are the soft, white leather tiles configured in a bold geometric pattern creating an interesting dialectic motif. Atop of the console is a simple stark faucet lever set. Here, less is more; crispness defines elegance. Aligned with this simplicity are the frameless mirrors held in place with small square polished chrome clips. On either side of these linear mirrors are poised tube-like cylindrical sconces. Here, curves create counterpoints to rectilinear lines.
