Abstract:
The home was a synthesis of South Carolina Low Country (as evident by the characteristic wraparound porch) and Caribbean architecture (reflected in the second floor bedrooms). Located on Hatteras Island, the home that was never meant to be just a vacation house was the brainchild of the new owners. As noted by the author, the couple’s background in residential development and horticulture inspired the unique blend of architectural styles.

Abstract:
At the corner of West Martin and Harrington streets in Raleigh's revitalizing Depot Historic District, an unlikely butterfly is emerging from its decades-long cocoon. The historic 1910 two-story brick structure built for Allen Forge & Welding Company and enlarged around 1927 for the Brogden Produce Company -- and more recently home to longtime occupant Cal-Tone Paints -- has emerged from its asbestos panel sheathing for a new incarnation as the home of Raleigh's Contemporary Art Museum (CAM).

Abstract:
Carrboro, once adjoining Chapel Hill's less affluent western neighbor, has transformed into a trendy artistic and culturally diverse community, referred to by locals as the Paris of the Piedmont, Chi-carrboro, or the Seattle of the South. These clever labels dramatize that Carrboro's visual arts, performing arts and music community is gaining attention.

Abstract:
Located in the center of a hundred-mile radius that encompasses the booming Research Triangle, dramatic Outer Banks and Tidewater region, the community of Merry Hill seems a mere dot on the North Carolina map. This hamlet was once the seat of the 8000-acre Scotch Hall Plantation, the largest antebellum plantation in Bertie County. Today, the privately owned extant plantation house shares it setting with another Scotch Hall, Scotch Hall Preserve. This new Scotch Hall, a 900-acre residential and golf community adds a new dimension of the area's picturesque landscape of small towns, productive farms, and great expanses of blue water.
