This home is a true gem in the heart of MacGregor Downs community in Cary, NC. Built in the 1980's in true Modernist design and architecture, the new owners wanted to keep the integrity of the original design. We redesigned the Half Bath, created floor plan layouts for new furniture, spec'd out furniture, accessories, flooring material, lighting, and artwork, as well as worked on brightening the wall and ceiling paint colors. One challenge we faced during the design process were the very tall ceilings, the very wide walls, and unusual angles. We chose interesting , engaging, and minimalistic artwork for the walls, which proved a successful solution. Another challenge was having a large open angled living room space; we created the perfect layout with separate functional gathering areas and eliminated unused corners. Photo credit: Bob Fortner

East London Warehouse Extension

Feix&Merlin Architects

An extension to one of the last original warehouse buildings remaining in East London. The existing building was a three-storey warehouse building, previously used as art gallery with live/work accommodation. The extension is set back from the front slightly to create a new balcony to the artist’s studio, and set flush to the rear of the office space creating a dramatic full-height, full-width glazed elevation taking in the breathtaking views of the City. Although the existing building is not listed, it is situated in a Conservation Area so it was crucial to work closely with the Conservation Department to develop a sensitive approach to the aesthetic of the architecture and materiality of the external appearance. The chosen materials palette was purposefully simple, high quality, and complementary to the surrounding architecture, featuring a full height “Crittall” style steel window screen to the rear as well as a brick and slate front facade facing the square.
