This mid-century modern Rockford home was updated in stages, and the kitchen needed a complete remodel. The homeowners desired a kitchen that felt current without breaking from the character that defined the rest of the house. That meant we needed to choose materials that fit the home and highlighted the home’s character.
Our team sourced pecky cypress and natural slate tile from non-traditional suppliers to get the exact look the home called for. The wood cabinetry was paired with a granite island, providing a gathering space in the kitchen without overpowering it. Because both materials required careful handling during installation, the crew worked more slowly and deliberately through this phase than a standard remodel. The result connected the kitchen directly to the living area, so the two spaces feel like one continuous room built in the same style as the rest of the home.

Rich wood shaker cabinetry is paired with a full-height quartz backsplash and under-cabinet lighting, highlighting clean lines, integrated outlets, and refined hardware details.

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.
