I fiercely believe that good design betters our lives. Our homes are places where our lives are anchored, our personalities met and expressed, and our memories held. They are the very reflection of us, of our expectations and dreams.We owe it to ourselves to design them right, to create them with intention.With my internationally acclaimed, award-winning company Wittehaus I try to do exactly that. Through the process of designing modern, energy-efficient, luxury homes, we try to create masterpieces for living. They are true custom homes made from scratch and to the specifics of our clients' needs. To keep innovating we also design and build homes for the real estate market, ready to buy. Based in the Charlotte, NC, area we serve North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia, with satellite offices in Durham, Asheville, and Greenville. Wittehaus’ purpose is to elevate the magic of every homeowner's life experience.Our work has been featured by many publications, including Dwell, Architectural Digest, Forbes, The Wallstreet Journal, and the New York Times. It has been showcased in exhibitions such as at the Lambla Gallery for the UNCC College of Architecture 50th Anniversary Symposium and Gala.Wittehaus has been honored with many awards, including the Medal & Henry Adams Certificate of Merit by The American Institute of Architects, the North Carolina Modernist Houses Matsumoto Prize, the Build Magazine’s Design & Build Award for “Most Innovative Architecture and Design Firm, North Carolina”, the Communicator Award of Distinction by the Academy of Interactive and Visual Arts, the BLT award for Architectural Design, as well as the Architecture Masterprize.Forbes Magazine featured Wittehaus on their list of America's Top 200 Residential Architects.Book:I am the author of the award-winning book Supersizing Bliss that outlines how we have come to build the homes we live in and ideas about how to do them better.
