Welcome to
About a House.
We are a residential design studio in Charlotte, North Carolina with a knack for simple beauty.
At About a House, we know how impactful our surroundings can be. Coming home each day to a space that functions beautifully and pleases our eye does more than just put a smile on our face. . . it grounds us, brings us comfort and rest, and re-energizes us to face our busy lives.
But sometimes creating a space that does all of those things can be overwhelming. That’s where we come in. Working side by side with our clients and a team of architects, builders, and tradespeople, we help our clients to turn their visions of home into a reality. Using our wealth of design knowledge and experience, we guide our clients through the construction process, helping them to make thoughtful, timeless choices every step along the way.
Our method
Simple Beauty, Proven Process.
Simple Beauty, Proven Process.
At About a House, we realize that the design process is much more than simply creating something beautiful. Equally important is being mindful of the entirety of the project, including the budget, timeline, and the communication of information with everyone involved. We’ve carefully developed a proven method to streamline the entire process and document all decisions, allowing you to relax and enjoy the ride.

Step 1
Initial Consultation
This is usually a one hour meeting where we both get to know one another and discuss the scope of the project. At the end of this meeting, we mutually decide if we are a good fit for one another.
Step 2
Letter of Agreement
Once we have decided to work together, a Letter of Agreement will be drafted, outlining the project scope, terms, and fees. Once this agreement is signed and a deposit is made, work begins.
Step 3
Design
This phase involves getting to know you in-depth, learning about how you live and asking mindful questions about your goals and dreams. From there, drawings are created, materials are specified, and furnishings/finishes are selected.
Step 4
Construction and Procurement
Once the design has been approved, work is scheduled and all materials and furnishings are ordered. We’ll make site visits and communicate with the contractor to keep the project running smoothly.
Step 5
Installation
When all work is complete and all furnishings have arrived in the warehouse, we’ll oversee the installation of everything for you, turning your house into a place you’ll love to call home.
Step 6
Final Walk Through
After installation, we will complete a walk-through of your finished space with you to discuss product maintenance and make note of any items that may need to be addressed. We’ll set a specific timeline to complete any outstanding items so that you can sit back and enjoy your new space!
