The Symon Project

With design by James Morgan from BellaDomus in Carrboro, we built an art gallery and garage addition with rooftop deck and screen porch, new rear deck, and new covered porch on the front and right connecting existing studio and house. The front entry wall and door was removed, exposing the stairs into the open addition, and we moved the entry to the side of the new addition under the covered porch.

The art gallery addition features authentic and locally sourced Shou Sugi Ban siding, cedar which is burned with fire, and floor to ceiling Marvin windows and doors with custom river rock sills. Walking towards the kitchen, our remodeled powder room features more custom river rock tile on the sink wall, with new vanity and vessel sink and custom LED wall sconces. Back into the addition, a concealed LED tape light hides under the stair rail down to the new 2-car garage, and the door above leads out to the rooftop screen porch and deck. Cumaru deck tiles from Bison cover the entire left portion of the deck and porch, with custom powder-coated steel railings and Cumaru top rail. The screen porch is a whooping 13 feet tall, and BetterVue screen with ScreenEze panels gives the best view with the easiest maintenance.

The rear deck steps down and is covered with PT decking, spanning the entire rear of the home and connecting to the new covered porch on the right. The tongue and groove pine ceiling and cedar beams and wrap blend harmoniously on your walk towards the front, stepping over custom powder-coated steel grates that rest above the A/C units. A custom Cumaru inlay highlights the intersection of 3 paths in the decking, a design from the homeowners that catches the eye and ties it together. We installed concrete pavers in front of the garage, and extended that under the deck, creating a covered patio area.

All in all, a project we were thrilled to be apart of.
