House for Art and Kids | Chapel Hill, NC
| This exciting transformation was designed for a busy couple with great careers, awesome kids, and an amazing lot, but an existing house that fell short. Now, shed-roofs open the spaces up to the sky and create large expanses of glass to bring in sunlight and offer stunning valley views.
We worked together to cram tons of functionality into hidden spots like closets, pantries, and laundry rooms—keeping things tucked away while maintaining the home's spacious and breezy feel. Guests don't see these spaces, but they're crucial for keeping the house open and clutter-free.
Our design team used simple materials in creative ways to lend interest to the spaces in this home renovation. The large window flood the home and artwork with natural light while opening up to the valley views the couple cherished.
This home was built with Fox General Contractors and designed with Lyn McClay. Thanks, Craig for bringing this renovation to life!
| The couple wanted more than just a carport. They desired a multi-functional space. We designed an open structure that mirrors the interior of the home. This shaded oasis became an ideal spot for kids to ride bikes, teenagers to host rock shows, and adults to unwind with a glass of wine.

| The courtyard seamlessly connects to the kitchen and dining area, making it easy to move around during gatherings. This design was intended to integrate all parts of the entertaining space, and it worked perfectly from the very first dinner party.
PRIVATE SPOT

BIG WINDOWS
