We were asked to create something really special for one of our most admired clients. This home has been a labor of love for both of us as we finally made it exactly what she wanted it to be. After many concept ideas we landed on a design that is stunning! All of the elements on her wish list are incorporated in this challenging, multi-level landscape: A front yard to match the modern traditional-style home while creating privacy from the street; a side yard that proudly connects the front and back; and a lower level with plantings in lush greens, whites, purples and pinks and plentiful lawn space for kids and dogs. Her outdoor living space includes an outdoor kitchen with bar, outdoor living room with fireplace, dining patio, a bedroom-adjacent lounging patio with modern fountain, enclosed vegetable garden, rose garden walk with European-style fountain and meditation bench, and a fire pit with sitting area on the upper level to take in the panoramic views of the sunset over the wooded ridge. Outdoor lighting brings it alive at night, and for parties you can’t beat the killer sound system!

This traditional Cape Cod barn is a pool house with changing rooms and a half bath. The pool filtration and mechanical devices are hidden from view behind the barn. The location of the pool filtration system is behind the building to reduce noise. The building contains a garage and a storage area for pool supplies. The dining area has a poured concrete floor. Creeping thyme grows between the stones. Sliding barn doors have copper screens and open on to the pool and backyard of this Summer Home.

This 1970 original beach home needed a full remodel. All plumbing and electrical, all ceilings and drywall, as well as the bathrooms, kitchen and other cosmetic surfaces. The light grey and blue palate is perfect for this beach cottage. The modern touches and high end finishes compliment the design and balance of this space.

Framed by towering windows and layered natural light, this contemporary living room embodies both sophistication and coastal charm. The space is elevated by a blend of creamy upholstery, warm wood accents, and playful pops of color that infuse the room with personality. A central fireplace with stacked stone detail grounds the layout, drawing the eye upward toward the double-height ceiling. Carefully curated decor—including textured pillows, modern lighting, and a sleek console table—adds dimension without clutter. Oversized glass doors create a seamless transition to the outdoor deck, reinforcing the room’s open, airy feel. Every detail, from the crisp white curtains to the clean architectural lines, is intentionally chosen to balance comfort and elegance. Ideal for quiet mornings or hosting guests, this room delivers timeless style with a contemporary coastal twist.

A bright dining room with lots of natural light in a mountain modern house in Asheville. The room has high windows with great panoramic views.The owners are geologists and have an extensive mineral collection. Creating display cabinets that are integrated into the rooms and highlight the beauty of the minerals was a priority. These minerals and their cabinetry became a driving factor in our design and decision making process and in many cases were a focal point of the architecture and interior design.

Extensive valley and mountain views inspired the siting of this simple L-shaped house that is anchored into the landscape. This shape forms an intimate courtyard with the sweeping views to the south. Looking back through the entry, glass walls frame the view of a significant mountain peak justifying the plan skew. The circulation is arranged along the courtyard in order that all the major spaces have access to the extensive valley views. A generous eight-foot overhang along the southern portion of the house allows for sun shading in the summer and passive solar gain during the harshest winter months. The open plan and generous window placement showcase views throughout the house. The living room is located in the southeast corner of the house and cantilevers into the landscape affording stunning panoramic views. Project Year: 2012
