Roby Construction

This full-service interior design project transformed a waterfront home on Lake Norman, North Carolina for a family relocating from New England. The original downstairs living spaces, including the kitchen, living room, piano room, dining room, and powder bath, felt dark, heavy, and dated. Through a thoughtful renovation and complete furnishing plan, the home was reimagined with a lighter, more refined palette that embraces natural light and the serene lake views.

At the heart of the project is the kitchen, designed to support the homeowner’s passion as a talented self-taught chef. Custom cabinetry, generous work surfaces, and professional-grade appliances create a highly functional culinary space that seamlessly accommodates both everyday cooking and large gatherings with family and friends. Throughout the main level, layered textures, tailored furnishings, and classic architectural details create an elegant yet welcoming environment that reflects the relaxed sophistication of Lake Norman living.
