Entrance to the YWCA

We've had the honor and pleasure of working on several significant projects in western North Carolina that provide great benefit to the community, such as the renovation and expansion of the YWCA of Asheville; Prospect Terrace, an affordable housing neighborhood in Asheville currently under creation by Mountain Housing Opportunities; the restoration of the Jacob Shook House in Clyde, NC; several projects at the NC Arboretum, and many more.

We are particularly excited about the "small house" designs we are doing for several infill sites such as Hudson Street and Shelburne Road in West Asheville.
