      <image:caption>The architect on the project, Bryan Merman, immediately picked up on the concept that they were looking for: something fresh but appropriately scaled and comfortable. “For the exterior, we decided on a knife-edge gable structure that is reminiscent of rural barns,” Bryan explained. “Over the years, we expect the aged cedar strip wood cladding on the front gable to patina to a weathered old barn hue. The contrast of old materials on the top to the modern base of the home, made for a compelling story that aligned perfectly with the story and personality of the homeowners.”</image:caption>

The existing mature tree in the front anchored the center axis of the home and sprawling branches were ideal for a swinging and climbing. The Owners wanted a house that was understated and blended into the neighborhood, while their taste was far more contemporary. The transition to the inside reveals the more modern living home which they so desired.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Skogluft - Norwegian term for “forest air” When envisioning this home, we wanted to pay homage to the clients’ Norwegian roots while also creating a healthy and sustainable design. A green living roof, floor to ceiling pocketing glass doors, and stone that seamlessly transitions from interior to exterior spaces gives new meaning to the ‘indoor/outdoor living’ concept. Careful consideration was given to site placement in order to capture the best view from the street approach, optimal sun for living roofs and solar panels, and placement of a large pool and tennis court. Curved walls and living roofs reflect nature’s organic shapes, while steep galvanized metal peaks mirror the sky/surroundings and give this home a modern touch.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>This historic home, originally designed in 1939, was renovated and reimagined in 2019. In addition to restoring the existing property, a new modern 1,500 SF addition was conceived off of the rear of the home. Each original architectural detail was painstakingly recreated, from the exterior shutters and clay tiled roof down to the interior scalloped crown molding. Juxtaposed next to this, a 2-story contemporary addition provides an airy open living space that opens up onto the new pool and outdoor area.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>This home was designed around a central courtyard theme, providing as much glass and natural light as possible while still maintaining a sense of privacy. A large cantilevered roof was designed to provide cover for a secondary entrance to the main residence. A curvilinear guest cottage at the rear of the property incorporates bark from nearby Asheville as an exterior siding.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Residences - Eastover Grace - Eastover Grace</image:title>
      <image:caption>We are always exploring ways to redefine our local vernacular through contemporary designs that are of this place, of this region. Our client wanted something that could cross the boundary of traditional, as expected in Eastover, Charlotte, yet contemporary in the way their home lives and feels. They wanted something unique with a cottage look to fit the streetscape. However, the program for this growing family demanded far more than a simple small cottage. The solution was a home that was scaled appropriately and comfortable, as you would expect in the south. The larger swooping front gable and wing wall to the auto court concealed the larger mass of the home in the background. We wanted to maintain a regional reference in the architectural language as well. Knowing that our client had close southern roots, we felt that it was important to create that emotional connection.  The culmination of the design process led to this effortless, open plan with southern charm. Over years, we expect the aged cedar wood roof to patina, and the carefully planned landscape(by Bruce Clodfelter, LA) to mature in place as if this home was here for an unknown time.  The contrast of aged exteriors with expansive windows and daylit open rooms fit with the story and personality of the new homeowners. Charlie Collins thoughtfully complemented and continued the storyline through the interiors with carefully selected furnishings and finishes all of which seem to strike a perfect balance of modern living with southern comfort...</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Home located on Lake Norman. This house was designed as a custom vacation home, with the space and amenities to accommodate multiple families at once. The home was positioned in a way that allows for optimal views from each room. The main level of the home consists of a large, vaulted living space, which opens up onto a covered deck. A tower with built-in shelving and benches provides a unique reading nook with 360 degree views of the lake. Downstairs, industrial garage doors allow for the rec room/bar area to flow out to the covered patio and outdoor pool. Other unique features include a movie theater, wine room, private dock, multiple bunk rooms, a safe room, and a grand vaulted master suite.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>In general about the project... We are always exploring ways to redefine our local vernacular through contemporary designs that are of this place, of this region. Our client also wanted to break the mold of traditional expectations here in Charlotte, so it was a perfect match. They wanted something unique and contemporary. On the other hand they wanted a home that was scaled appropriately and comfortable, like you would expect in the south. We wanted to maintain a regional reference in the architectural language. Knowing that our client had close agricultural roots, growing up on a farm etc., we felt that it was important to create that emotional connection to this past. The culmination of the design process led to a simple, knife edge gable structure that is reminiscent of rural barns. Over years, we expect the aged cedar strip wood cladding on the front gable to patina, to a weathered old barn hue. (like in this rendering) The contrast of old materials on the top to the modern base of the home, made for a compelling story that aligned perfectly with the story and personality of the new homeowners.</image:caption>
