13 project will mesh together – something that truly sets Dawn Christine, Architect PLLC apart. Where most only offer sketches and an overview of how a project may turn out, Dawn Christine provides a virtual tour around their future build, from a bird’s eye view, to close ups of the intimate characteristics of a design. One stand-out project by the firm is its award-winning High Tech Modern Residence. Influenced by the concept of ‘making ordinary extraordinary’, Dawn Christine sought to bring a new meaning to the world of modern architecture in line with the brief provided. The client wanted a modern home with state-of-the-art features, while also boasting abundance of outdoor space – complete with a seamlessly integrated guesthouse. Though incredibly detailed, the concept was invigorating, and Dawn Christine, Architect PLLC quickly got to applying its vast skillset to make this dream a reality. From connecting with the client, a very clear understanding was gained of the sort of features to include to truly fulfill the brief. The client was seeking a bold, geometric home that would stand as the pinnacle of modern architecture both inside and out. Creating a spatial experience was to be a common thread throughout the design – inclusive of room for a ballet studio and gym – thus Dawn and her team developed a concept to exceed expectations. From the initial sketch, Dawn had homed in on even the tiniest of ideas proposed and went above and beyond to seamlessly integrate them. This began with the conceptual main and guest house floor plan. Every aspect – from the main house being positioned to take advantage of southern exposure for consistent natural light, to the guest house being designed to block harsh western exposure – not only considered what the client wanted but built upon it. Dawn remained mindful of just how essential natural light is to enhancing modern builds, and therefore designed a layout that would maximize beneficial light, while blocking out harsh, disruptive light. As such, Dawn created mindful floorplans that captured her sheer breadth of experience, all while masterfully paying homage to the client’s initial ideas. From the floorplans, to the conceptual design of the guesthouse’s elevation, Dawn took every factor into account during the planning process. In fact, this eye for detail further extended to the site plan, wherein the firm considered the location of the home to cultivate a design that mingled with the surrounding area. Planned for construction in Sanford – a traditional North Carolina neighborhood – the house needed to combine privacy and distance to uphold the pre-existing atmosphere of the area. Dawn overcame this obstacle, placing the planned property on a secluded section of hillside. Not only was the natural environment protected, but the privacy of the residents, too. Dawn and her team drafted up how to use the space both inventively and to align with the effect the client was hoping to achieve. The property needed to capture a sense of grandiose spaciousness – a challenge that Dawn eagerly rose to. Equipped with her vision and creativity, she thoughtfully combined the concept of an open plan with varying ceiling heights to encourage a sense of scale between rooms. This ultimately means that, when constructed, the home will possess an impression of spatial exploration – a dynamic aspect topped with artistic lighting fixtures and ambient details. Additionally, Dawn Christine, Architect PLLC has long since identified the impact of various colors, textures, and finishes on a completed space, and therefore integrated a myriad of options throughout the home. For instance, the kitchen includes top-class white and grey granite with mingling elements, including backsplash and hood clad in Serata granite, while the Great Room boasts an 8ft linear fireplace complete with textured plaster. Partnered with careful consideration into how various planes coincide with one another, Dawn crafted a spectacular blend of styles and materials to truly elevate the sense of open space throughout the home. However, the spectacle of the Great Room doesn’t end there. Extending from this space is both a spatial and functional feature – the ethereal stair. A collage of art, with various dramatic architectural elements bouncing off one another, this area provides natural light and artistic elegance in abundance. Complete with a wine display and a space specifically carved out for the family’s baby grand piano, this segment of the room brings attention to the modern sophistication of the build, while simultaneously elevating the ambience of the room itself. Presented as such a simple yet effective space, this element of the Great Room demonstrates every aspect that makes Dawn Christine, Architect PLLC truly unique. Though the floorplan includes at least five bedrooms, one standout is easily the Master Bedroom. Between its linear elements and walk in closet, this room has been carefully designed to elicit a sense of rest and relaxation. Dawn has quite clearly mastered the art of designing rooms that seamlessly adhere to their intended purposes, and the Master Bedroom is no different. Similarly to the house’s other rooms, this space is clean, precise, and mapped out to perfection, allowing for an enhanced level of luxury further emphasized by the secluded patio. Capturing elegant serenity, it’s a treat to see such an environment fully realized in 3D. From the bathrooms to the stylish bedrooms, the High Tech Modern Residence project presented the chance to demonstrate impeccable understanding of enriching spaces with thoughtful modern elegance. Every inch of the home exudes an undeniable sense of space, granting each area a certain breathability that’s bound to be appreciated by the family and their guests alike. Complete with an outdoor pool area that invites everyone to bask in the Carolina sunset, the project looks to be an exemplary feat of architectural design.
