“While the end result looks seamless, the steps behind the scenes were more extensive than one might think.” — Project Manager Douglas Brown

➡️ Three things our team tackled to lay the groundwork for this kitchen transformation:

1. Extended an exterior wall 3 feet to accommodate the new layout. This required a structural engineer, careful attention to ceiling joist support, and ultimately the installation of a steel beam to carry the load from upstairs.

2. Relocated the home’s electrical meter to make the wall extension possible, coordinating with Duke Energy, our electrician, and the homeowners still living in the home.

3. Removed upper cabinets to open the wall and create seamless flow between the kitchen and sunroom.

The benefit or working with a full-service design-build firm like ICON? We juggled all these details, not the homeowner!

🀄️ ICON was proud to sponsor “Bam Dot Crackle Give Back” event earlier this month!

Our very own Katherine served on the event committee. That stunning backdrop? All her.

Together, the team surpassed their fundraising goal, topping last year’s total!

We love supporting our local community, and events like this remind us exactly why Winston-Salem is such a special place to call home.

✨Sometimes spaces don’t need drastic changes — they just need a little TLC. That’s exactly what we did in the butler’s pantry of our Blue Ridge Mountain project, a 6,000 sq. ft. gut renovation of a home over 100 years old.

~ Replaced the sink with a new one
