Other Works Architecture logo - Other Works Architecture is the architecture-producing arm of And Other Works.

Architecture firm working in Highlands, Cashiers, and Brevard. Performing site analysis, schematic design, design development, and construction administration for residential architecture projects. We specialize in contemporary and modern design on sloping mountain sites and tight urban conditions. Our architecture projects are site-specific and thoughtfully created in collaboration with our clients.

We assess HOA and code requirements, analyze difficult topographic conditions like steep slopes and uneven terrain, and work tirelessly to produce designs that satisfy the complex and unique programmatic needs of our clients. We operate between two regions in North Carolina - Western NC and The Triangle as a boutique traveling practice with decades of lived and practice experience in both regions. Raised in Appalachia and educated in the Piedmont, we are design experts well-suited to work in both contexts.

We design homes, businesses, and public spaces that reflect the stories and details of our clients and their sites…

not making space for everyone,
making space for you.
