Here are a few more images from our Haw River photoshoot, captured by Sarah Arneson.

Custom cabinetry plays an integral role throughout the home, creating a cohesive design that carries from one space to the next.

Within the great room, the cabinetry helps define individual spaces while maintaining the openness and connection that make the room so warm and inviting.

A throwback to this mid-century modern renovation in Durham, NC, built by Fox General Contracting.

At the entry, a custom steel privacy screen and handrails by creates a small, intimate foyer, offering a sense of privacy from the rest of the home while still filtering in natural light and views.

A new mahogany front door, refinished flooring, and warm new paint bring a renewed sense of lightness and warmth throughout the home, while thoughtful updates keep the spirit of the original mid-century design intact.

A few more shots of our McDowell Road addition/renovation project. We love how this new family room extends into the private back yard with tons of glass looking onto the garden.

Another great collaboration with Fox General Contracting.

Here are a few images from the new owners' bathroom in the mid century modern renovation in Chapel Hill.

We wanted the bathroom to be minimal and clean with a warmth that ties to the character of the entire house. The sauna adds a quiet spa like element, while the minimal tiles and terrazo tile floor keep the space connected to the original mid century design.

A really special transformation of a space that now feels both comfortable and timeless.

The brick is going in at our new build in Durham! While brick is a more traditional material, the stepped detailing adds a modern twist, creating depth and dimension across the exterior.

We love how the brick folds into the interior, too, creating a warm, textural backdrop for the new dining room and connecting the design from outside to in.

We couldn’t leave out a couple of photos of the newly installed corner window glass, either. A corner window always wins!

It’s exciting to see all these details come together as this home takes shape.

The house on Haw River was completed a couple of years ago, and we’re so glad we were finally able to make it out this fall for a photoshoot. Here are a couple of evening views captured by the incredibly talented Sarah Arneson.

We’re grateful to our wonderful clients for trusting us to bring their vision to life and for taking the time to make this photoshoot possible.

A project like this is truly a team effort. Thank you all craftspeople and partners who helped bring every detail together.

Check out this new box bay in an owners’ suite addition in Durham. By pushing the window wall outward, we created a bright, inviting nook that brings the landscape deeper into the room.

Sometimes, a few thoughtful changes can give an existing space new life. We love finding creative ways to transform the spaces you already have.

Considering a renovation or addition? We’d love to help explore what’s possible.

It’s amazing how quickly you forget the “before” once you see the “after.”

We love renovating mid century modern homes. While MCM homes can start to feel dated, we believe there’s a beautiful way to balance the old with the new, preserving the character, details, and spirit that make these homes special.

Here are a few images from our latest transformation in Chapel Hill. This mid century modern deck house is just wrapping up, and we can’t wait to share the final images soon.

A huge thank you to Fox Contracting for bringing this project to life with us, and most importantly, to our amazing clients for trusting us with their vision and allowing us to make it a reality.

More to come!

Windows are starting to go in at our new build in Durham! Check out these before and afters.

One of our favorite details is positioning fixed glass windows at eye level while placing the operable windows lower to the ground.

The views remain uninterrupted without screens getting in the way, while the smaller operable windows create a more dynamic composition throughout the interior. Thoughtful details like this make such a difference in how a home feels and functions.

Shout out to Attune Home Attune Homes for their clean framing and attention to detail. They caught all our special corners!
