Triangle Residential Designs

Here's a custom home we did a couple years ago.

Working on a nice farmhouse style home for a customer. Preliminary concept model.

RARE MODERNIST HOME SAVED: Unbelievable that we almost saw this historic home become a pile of rubble.

This one-of-a-kind home was a Historic Landmark, but previous owners requested removal of landmark status — allowing new owners full freedom to demolish the house.

Thankfully, it was rescued at the last moment and moved from its original site. The Weber House was built in 1953-54 and designed by legendary architect and founding faculty of NC State’s design school: George Matsumoto.

Now, take a look at how BEAUTIFULLY it’s been restored!!

A nice modern design we did for a narrow lot.

This custom home was finished up last year.

A custom home from a few years ago...

It's always to see our designs come to life.

Raleigh comes in at #1!!

Best US city for job opportunities and earning potential revealed in new study — and NYC is laughably low on the list The results are sure to shock those who believe the Big Apple is still one of the best places for career growth.

Always nice to see one of our designs completed and done so well!!

Seems pretty accurate.

RALEIGH:
Everyone’s moving here because they heard it’s “the next Austin,” which is adorable considering the nightlife ends at 9 p.m. and the parking meters are policed like you owe child support. It’s a city where tech bros and old money Southern families co-exist awkwardly in line at Boulted Bread. The skyline keeps adding cranes, and every new apartment complex has “luxury” in the name and a floorplan the size of a broom closet. Locals are split between people who grew up here and are quietly seething, and newcomers from New Jersey who think they discovered biscuits.

CARY:
Raleigh’s overachieving sibling who alphabetizes their spice rack and schedules "wine time" on a Google Calendar. It's clean, quiet, and looks like it was designed entirely by a homeowners’ association with a Pinterest addiction. Everyone drives an SUV, all the playgrounds are suspiciously well-funded, and if your HOA hasn’t fined you for your mailbox color, are you even living?

DURHAM:
Used to be gritty, now it’s “gritty-chic.” Home to Duke, artisanal ice cream shops, and people who use the word “community” in every sentence while paying $2,400 for a one-bedroom loft next to a v**e shop. Every brewery has a dog-friendly patio and at least one guy talking about his kombucha startup. People here claim to love the arts — which is code for they’ve been to one poetry night and never shut up about it.

CHAPEL HILL:
Imagine if Whole Foods was a town. Everyone’s wearing Birkenstocks and talking about mindfulness while debating the ethics of almond milk. Home to UNC and the softest parking enforcement known to man. You either moved here for the college, or because you enjoy paying $6 for ethically-sourced pickles. It's beautiful, progressive, and slightly smug in a "my 4-year-old only eats organic quinoa" kind of way.

APEX:
“The Peak of Good Living,” which apparently means just enough charm to make you forget you're still 45 minutes from anything fun. It’s the kind of place where people say things like “we don’t lock our doors” and mean it. Your neighbors will bring you muffins and then call the HOA because your trash can was visible for six minutes past pickup.

HOLLY SPRINGS:
Basically Apex but with more roundabouts and a Target that gives people spiritual fulfillment. Everyone here moved from somewhere else last week and is already asking if there’s a Facebook group for “Holly Springs Moms Who Brunch.” The town's growing so fast the GPS still thinks you’re in a field. And maybe you were, like, four months ago.

WAKE FOREST:
Not a college, despite how many confused freshmen end up here. This is where Raleigh goes to settle down, get a golden retriever, and develop strong opinions about mulch. Historic downtown is cute in a Hallmark movie way, and the rest is just suburban sprawl and drive-thru Starbucks lines that look like a Taylor Swift pre-sale.

CLAYTON:
It wants to be Raleigh so bad but still has that one gas station with boiled peanuts and a handwritten sign that just says “Worms.” The town motto could be “We’ve got a brewery now, please stay.” It’s growing fast — mostly in the direction of car dealerships, medical offices, and overpriced townhomes built directly on top of each other like suburban Jenga.

FUQUAY-VARINA:
Yes, it’s a real place. No, we still can’t pronounce it without pausing. It’s half small-town charm, half explosive growth, and 100% the punchline to every “where are you from?” joke in the Triangle. Has two downtowns, one name nobody can agree on, and enough breweries to make you forget you're 30 minutes from a decent Thai restaurant.

ZEBULON / WENDELL / KNIGHTDALE:
The Triangle’s frontier towns. This is where Raleigh expansion goes when it runs out of craft coffee shops and starts handing out subdivisions like Oprah handing out cars. “You get a Sheetz! You get a Sheetz!” Every new resident says, “We love how quiet it is,” and six months later they’re in the town Facebook group asking why there’s no Trader Joe’s.
