 | South of Chapel Hill, the Woodfin custom home was certified 2016 EnergyStar and featured very air tight ZIP wall sheathing, which added greatly to the energy efficiency and superior comfort of the home during hot and frigid outdoor temperatures. The layout of the house was extensively altered before project budgeting until the right balance of form and function was achieved. Carefully placed stone, shutter, roof pitches, and gable truss accents added to the visual appeal of the home's facade. The kitchen's large island featured "leather" granite, a real must see. The laundry room's generous countertop space and window make laundry work a snap. View project portfolio |

 | A repeat customer, the Schwartz family chose to purchase this northern Chatham county home in 2012 due to its strong craftsman accents, and extensive details, not common in most new homes. Kitchen cabinets feature a custom island, and woven wire cabinet door accents. The sealed & insulated crawlspace's short energy-efficiency pay-off period and improved indoor air quality along with other wise energy saving items, all gave this home very comfortable indoor comfort rating.

 | The Vose home was a wonderful collaboration in 2013. A more modest craftsman influence was used to design for the Vose's down sizing needs. Having both Energy Star & NAHB Green certifications, the home struck a wise balance for energy efficiency. Many have commented on the great back screened porch with skylights, and 2 story family room with staircase. View project portfolio |

Kurt designed it for an active family in a north Chatham county neighborhood. View project portfolio |
 | The Flores home was Kurt's first full new home construction. Completed in 2000 in south Durham, it featured another good adaptation of a home to a difficult lot with a side entry basement garage, beautiful front porch and very open first floor plan. What a great home for a young family. View project portfolio |
 | The Macomson custom home was formed from extensive pre-construction design work. Many concepts were considered and explored to finally reach the design they love. Built west of Carrboro in 2007, its craftsman features include stained interior trim and a sheltered inglenook, to give the home a warm feel. The wall of vaulted family room windows has a great unobstructed view out the back due to the lack of porch roof supports afforded by a large vaulted porch roof truss. View project portfolio |
 | The 2011 Ferguson kitchen remodel included locally crafted cabinets with custom door pulls. The upper cabinets had glass doors with in-cabinet lighting which work great for showcasing the owners’ personal collections. View project portfolio |
