The Spoke Easy Noodle rack Systems – by Cluck Design

Across cities and neighborhoods, more people are choosing bikes for transportation, recreation, and everyday life. Supporting that shift starts with smart infrastructure. At The Spoke Easy & Cluck Design Collaborative, we help businesses, schools, parks, and public spaces support cyclists with durable, good-looking bike racks that actually get used. Secure parking encourages riding, keeps spaces organized, and shows a real commitment to sustainability.

Our outdoor bike racks are built for everyday riders and real-world conditions. Let’s make your space more bike-friendly.

More riders. Cleaner spaces. Stronger communities. That’s what we build at The Spoke Easy & Cluck Design Collaborative.

Church on Parkwood Apartments / Charlotte, NC. Winner of the 2022 AIA Charlotte Adaptive Reuse Award.

Completed in 2021, the Church on Parkwood Apartments multi-family residential project is a love letter to the salvation and renovation of a building—as opposed to tearing it down and starting anew. The church, originally built in 1929 by Louis Asbury, has long been a local favorite. Current modernization efforts focused on highlighting the history of the church, while bringing new life into the space. In fact, the stained glass windows in each of the 18 units were preserved beautifully, and seamlessly incorporated along with the names of original churchgoing families. The remaining stained glass windows that could not be worked into the residential units were used to build a small mail pavilion, which is one of the most impressive and impactful design features in the project.

Because the emphasis was on preserving the building, there was a tighter working space and fewer units were able to be incorporated and accommodated. These limitations led to innovations, such as housing the HVAC units in decorative structures made to look like large, screened lanterns positioned along the exterior wall. These lanterns are beautiful and functional, and they—along with the original pulpit still being used in the leasing office—harken back to the origins of the building. Finally, the stair to the entry was rotated 90 degrees to not only implement extra safety precautions, but also to create drama and an opportunity for landscaping between the building and the updated sidewalk.

Willow Oak / Charlotte, NC - Winner of the 2022 AIA Charlotte Honor Award

This modern residence features a blend of cypress and mill-finished steel, with large sliding doors seamlessly integrating indoor and outdoor spaces. Efforts were made to preserve the natural surroundings, with the six-car garage, known as The Moto Dojo, cleverly concealed with a green roof and rooftop deck. Solar panels power the house and electric cars.

Throughout the design process, design ingenuity was paramount due to the property’s unique characteristics, including its narrow and elongated shape (68’W x 1,000’L) and 40’ elevation change. The garage was excavated to merge with the landscape, creating a flowing backyard onto the roof. Overscaled windows and doors served as a kind of optical illusion to reduce the perceived scale of the home to match the massing of other homes in the neighborhood, while a sunken courtyard harmonized with the topography. Inside, minimal interior columns maximize space.

Cluck Design Collaborative : The First 20 Years
A Love Letter to American Cities
Hardcover Book: 8” x 6.5” - 454 pages

Cluck Design Collaborative, The First 20 Years celebrates two decades of super cool design and the people behind the work. While the official origin story of Cluck can only be told with a beverage in hand, this monograph offers a taste of their journey through various projects and how they have contributed to all different types of neighborhoods and cities. Cluck has always strived to be different; different in how they treat their clients, different in how they work together, and different in the results they achieve. From projects ranging from a tiny bike part to a 245 unit multifamily project, the focus has always been on acting as a mirror to the client and serving the needs of each neighborhood that they call home.

Resident Culture – Bland Street, Charlotte, NC. Winner of the 2025 AIA Charlotte Citation Award

The upfit of this 17,000 square foot bus maintenance garage--turned-brewery is a super cool and unique undertaking. We worked closely with local artist, Resident Culture graphic designer, and musician Maryssa Pickett, using their iconic beercan artwork to inspire the look of each room.

From the enormous skylights and suspended flora, to the disco ball bathroom hall, to the massive Lightning Drops sculpture (an homage to one of their most popular beers), we took every opportunity to kick the design up a notch. And don’t forget to look up: the DJ booth above the bar is one of our favorite details.

Keeping the skylights in the Country Kind dining room was integral to the overall feel of this space, along with the addition of new powder-coated steel planters that surround them. This bright, flora-filled room is the perfect place to share a beer with friends, or to try the offerings from Resident Culture’s coffee concept, Killer Coffee.

Millhouse Apartments / Charlotte, NC

Our residential project on Seigle Ave in the Belmont neighborhood prioritized exceptional design while harmonizing with the local scale. Inspired by Belmont’s historic aesthetics, we crafted a building that resembled a cluster of smaller structures, blending seamlessly into the neighborhood’s character with varied entrances, exits, and sculptural shapes. In order to reduce costs associated with interior conditioned hallways, we designed an exterior covered walkway. This also brought in natural light from both ends of each unit and created an attractive courtyard that is open to residents’ front doors.

The majority of the 28 units are two-bedroom apartments, which prompted us to implement proactive parking solutions and amenities for cyclists and pedestrians. Notably, our one-bedroom affordable units, below-ground parking deck, and unconditioned exterior walkways exemplify this commitment. Each two-bedroom unit features a parking stacker, minimizing the building’s footprint and enhancing pedestrian space. Accessibility to the nearby greenway is also a key feature of the project.

Petty Thieves Brewing/Charlotte, NC. Winner of Charlotte Magazine's Best Brewery Interior.

is a spacious 4,960 square feet destination on Graham Street. The space is adorned with hidden gems and curiosities, evoking a sense of wonder and discovery. Drawing inspiration from the owners’ extensive collection of found objects, the design effortlessly integrates these cool and eclectic pieces. One noteworthy element is a hidden room, reachable via a Twin Peaks-esque corridor and a concealed bookcase. This secret space is crafted to evoke the feeling of being inside a beer barrel, making it a unique attraction for beer lovers.

Much of the space was built by the owners, showcasing their woodworking talents. Taxidermy elements create a unique hunting lodge ambiance, while the presence of bank teller lamps and typewriters infuse a nostalgic charm. A stage area and game room offer entertainment options for patrons, further enhancing the lively atmosphere. The interior design embraces a whimsical circus tent aesthetic, complemented by the grandeur of baroque-ish architecture and stained glass windows that bathe the space in a vibrant kaleidoscope of colors. In fact, it has been aptly dubbed the “church for beer.”
