Luxury Home Architect
Serving Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Durham, Raleigh, NC & the Surrounding Areas

Take a look at our custom-built homes below to get an idea of what you want your own home to look like. Home styles such as Georgian Residence, English Cottage, and Dutch Colonial Bungalow are a great starting point when designing a luxury home. Our custom home architect can take the aspects of these styles that you like and adjust them to get a home perfect for you. From these designs, you can determine if you enjoy exterior features such as terraces, stunning columns, balconies, and interior features such as fireplaces, hard wood floors, curtains that slide into pockets, built-in bookcases, and more unique features. Once our commercial and residential architects have determined exactly what you are looking for, they can draft the plans for your future home and allow you to critique the design to perfection.

In addition to our luxury home renovation services, we also provide home remodeling work for owners of beautiful and older historical homes. Older homes are beautiful works of art that often need to be updated with modern features that are more practical. However, adding a home addition 50 or 100 years after the home is built can make your beautiful home look tacky if the addition does not match the original style of your home. Our home remodeling architects can create an addition that complements the original design. The addition will look like it was a part of the original design instead of something just thrown together 100 years later. Reach out to our custom home architects to discuss your project ideas and schedule a consultation!
