The Laurel was a project that required a rigorous lesson in southern architectural vernacular. The site being located in the hot climate of the Carolina shoreline, the client was eager to capture cross breezes and utilize outdoor entertainment spaces. The home was designed with three covered porches, one partially covered courtyard, and one screened porch, all accessed by way of French doors and extra tall double-hung windows. The open main level floor plan centers on common livings spaces, while still leaving room for a luxurious master suite. The upstairs loft includes two individual bed and bath suites, providing ample room for guests. Native materials were used in construction, including a metal roof and local timber.

Natural elements feature oblong slate flooring and stacked stone for the backsplash. The updated appliances in this kitchen remodel now satisfy the chef’s cooking desires and the family’s palette. A high-end 36” six-burner Thermador range and vent hood allow for greater creative cooking for the family of this North Richland Hills home.

This bright, open-concept dining space features a rich wooden table surrounded by stylish, upholstered gray chairs. Overhead, a modern brass globe chandelier casts a warm glow. In the background, white buffet cabinets, fresh floral arrangements, and a glimpse of a contemporary kitchen and sunlit living room create an inviting, airy, and beautifully cohesive home interior.

Tall screened windows fill this porch with sunlight and neighborhood views, creating a cheerful indoor-outdoor dining space. A wood table, red chairs, patterned rug, and black ceiling fan add warmth and personality to the clean white architecture.
