Inspired by color-blocking, our design team found a way to bring plenty of playful color into the classrooms without overwhelming little learners.

By applying color 4' up the walls, we brought the scale of the existing 11' ceilings down to a child's perspective, making the spaces feel more their size. Additionally, child-height sinks, lockers, restrooms, and thoughtfully placed windows further encourage independence and exploration. Being on the edge of a historic district, we kept much of the buildings' original charm, with pops of blue offering a peek at the fun happening inside.

A space designed for kids, not just adapted for them.

Gateway Plaza off of Crabtree Blvd in Raleigh is full of various tenants, becoming a hub for work, dining, and play! Most recently a fresh batch of new(ish) tenants has occupied their spaces. Working with these business owners to bring their projects to life and watching this area buzz with activity is why we do what we do!

After 4 years of grant applications, design, and construction we celebrated the ribbon-cutting and open house for this newly renovated downtown landmark. A new chapter for 16 W. Main Avenue, Taylorsville, NC.

Owned by the County and funded by an NC Commerce Rural Transformation Grant, the former bank and local Chamber of Commerce, now houses first-floor retail and upper-floor apartments aimed at attracting teachers. The first floor is now an expanded Kiley’s Sugar Shoppe. We’re proud to have been part of bringing this building back to life in downtown Taylorsville—and even prouder to see the community come together to celebrate it.
