Sound Front Custom Home

Location: Kitty Hawk, NC

Completion: 2022

Role: Architect and Contractor

Sound Design Build founder, Erin Powell, was the architect and general contractor for this custom home in Kitty Hawk NC. The design was influenced by local vernacular and outdoor living. A semi-wrapped porch provides protection from the famous OBX winds in the winter and plenty of sunshine and sound front views. 

The interior focus is a series of glulam posts and beams supporting the second floor. A double height space frames the entrance and second floor loft. An indoor/outdoor two story brick fireplace divides the living room and screen porch with glass doors connecting the two spaces. 

The kitchen is at the heart of the living floor and is positioned so that when looking out the West windows, no land is visible. It truly feels like you are one with the Sound!
