While living out of the country, this couple wanted to remodel their home in Cary, North Carolina, remotely. They looked to Houzz to find a local design professional and found design-build firm Clearcut Construction. They communicated with owner Richard Ryder through emails and inspiration photos, and he sent them full renderings of the kitchen that included details like stone options for the countertops and backsplash.
“They were able to come back a few times to shop for appliances and check out the quartz we’d chosen for them in person, but most of the design process was done remotely,” Ryder says. The result is a transitional kitchen that leans warm contemporary, with Japandi inspiration.
