Chapel Hill Modernist Home Uses CaraGreen Finishes in Renovation

The News and Observer recently covered the renovation of a mid-century modern home in Chapel Hill, which used CaraGreen finishes. The renovation involved a three-story addition, which was needed to accommodate a growing family. Louis Cherry of Cherry Huffman Architects came up with the new design, which complemented the existing mid-century structure.  The master bedroom was moved to the ground floor of the addition with a studio and wine cellar going on the lower level and a rooftop dining area on top.  The space connects beautifully with the surrounding woods with expansive windows that let in natural light and show the outdoors, a deck off the master bedroom, and the rooftop terrace. 

Sustainable and natural materials were used in the renovation, many of which CaraGreen provided.  Rapidly renewable bamboo flooring was used throughout the home. Eco-Cem panels, made with recycled wood fibers, were used for wall panels in the master bathroom (Coal Grey) and for flooring on the rooftop terrace (Natural Grey).  And, Eco-Gres recycled porcelain mosaic tile (Dover White) was used for flooring in the master bathroom.
