“We are nestled in the greater Charlotte suburban town of Huntersville, near Lake Norman, but we wanted to create a space that from a design perspective could carry itself in New York or Los Angeles, while embracing the more relaxed nature of our professional community. Our modern, acoustic slat-accented front desk is complemented by an elegant penny-tiled coffee bar. One of our defining features is our captivating lighting, from the wow factor, Arhaus chandelier to the mid-century modern accents throughout. Throughout the space, the tasteful use of colors and wallpaper add depth and a bit of our personality—creating a sense of warmth. One of our favorite spaces is the office and consultation room, which offers an intimate space for client consultations, vendor and small staff meetings.”
