Best Product Design Award

Gray Houghland • October 25, 2022

We are honored to announce one of our best clients, Chelsea Building Group, won the Home Builders Association of Greater Charlotte’s 2022 Major Achievement in Marketing Excellence Award for Best Product Design of an Attached Home for our contemporary, luxury duplex designs at Cityside West!

This project was an infill development on Mattoon Street in Charlotte, NC, which is just minutes from uptown. It includes twenty new construction units ranging from 2,281 - 2,464 square feet.

Our design objective was to provide more affordable luxury living very close to the center of Charlotte. Duplexes are a perfect way to achieve that, as land in Charlotte is scarce and expensive. Duplexes lower the land costs dramatically while still providing a housing unit that feels like a single family residence.

Open floor plans, outdoor spaces, and beautiful kitchens make these units perfect for entertaining.

The exteriors are contemporary. Shed roofs, stucco finishes, wood siding accents and brightly colored front doors are just some of the design features on the exterior.

Careful placement of these materials allowed the builder, Chelsea Design Build, to build simple, more affordable exterior shapes that still provided a great deal of visual interest and variety.
