Is this a century old home in Provence? You would think at first glance but it is in fact a new build in Winston-Salem, North Carolina where the brief was to make it look centuries old. Designer Kate Marker came in to add some French countryside elements with her layered textures, soft colours (too soft for my personal liking TBH) and a casual elegance that really works with the architecture. I am completely smitten with the exterior. So charming!!! Architect: Greg Koester; Builder: Jonathan Lee; Photos: Margaret Rajic.
