While out of the country, the couple wanted to remotely remodel their home in Cary, North Carolina. They looked to Houzz to find a local design professional and found design-build firm Clearcut Construction. He communicated with owner Richard Ryder via email and inspiration photos, and he sent him a full rendering of the kitchen that included details like stone choices for the countertops and backsplash.
“They were able to come back a few times to shop for tools and check out the quartz we selected for them, but most of the design process was done remotely,” Ryder says. The result is a transitional kitchen that is warm contemporary with Japanese inspiration.
