Teaming up with Carolina Beach's market leader, Bryant Real Estate, we undertook the transformation of a residential home into a versatile office space, focusing on a design that captures the professionalism of the business and creates a welcoming ambiance for their clients. Our objective was clear: maintain the building's character while seamlessly blending in the coastal-contemporary nature of the Bryant Real Estate brand—a fusion of the past and the future. Our in-house design team masterfully aligned the residential exterior aesthetic with a functional coastal ethos, crafting a design narrative that reflects the locale holistically.
Creating a memorable design experience is about setting the right mood and achieving a harmonious mix of texture and materials. As you step into the open-concept reception and waiting area, you're embraced by a blend of casual elegance and contemporary composition. The interiors showcase a classic herringbone hardwood floor pattern, vaulted ceilings adorned with cedar slats in a natural stain, black iron pendant light fixtures, soft sage walls, and plush upholstered furnishings. Steady angles, classic lines, and geometric shapes introduce a contemporary layer, maintaining the character of the residential building. Inside the waiting room, mid-level ceiling-height interior walls provide a raw aesthetic. Coastal-inspired materials, including weathered wood tones and distressed finishes, pay homage to the sights of the sea, defining the overall aesthetic.
