Located in an established Charlotte historic district replete with stringent design guidelines, this project found its personality in the character and tone of the long-embraced Arts and Crafts design movement. In a distinctly urban gesture, an oversized porch anchors the street facing facade with a stone base, detailed timber framing, and a sweeping design element that sets into motion the predominantly shingle clad exterior. The interior is organized around a dramatic sculptural stair that links all three living floors, and an open plan provides city skyline views across the rear of the house.
