The Church on Parkwood / Charlotte, NC. Winner of the 2022 AIA Charlotte Adaptive Reuse Award and 2021 Structural Engineers Association of North Carolina Historic Preservation Award.

Completed in 2021, multi-family residential project is a love letter to the salvation and renovation of a building—as opposed to tearing it down and starting anew. The church, originally built in 1929 by Louis Asbury, has long been a local favorite. Current modernization efforts focused on highlighting the history of the church, while bringing new life into the space. In fact, the stained glass windows in each of the 18 units were preserved beautifully, and seamlessly incorporated along with the names of original churchgoing families. The remaining stained glass windows that could not be worked into the residential units were used to build a small mail pavilion, which is one of the most impressive and impactful design features in the project.

Resident Culture – Bland Street / Charlotte, NC. Winner of the 2025 AIA Charlotte Citation Award

The upfit of this 17,000 square foot bus maintenance garage--turned-brewery is a super cool and unique undertaking. We worked closely with local artist, Resident Culture graphic designer, and musician Maryssa Pickett, using their iconic b**rcan artwork to inspire the look of each room.

From the enormous skylights and suspended flora, to the disco ball bathroom hall, to the massive Lightning Drops sculpture (an homage to one of their most popular b**rs), we took every opportunity to kick the design up a notch. And don’t forget to look up: the DJ booth above the bar is one of our favorite details.

Keeping the skylights in the Country Kind dining room was integral to the overall feel of this space, along with the addition of new powder-coated steel planters that surround them. This bright, flora-filled room is the perfect place to share a b**r with friends, or to try the offerings from Resident Culture’s coffee concept, Killer Coffee.

Millhouse Apartments / Charlotte, NC

Our residential project on Seigle Ave in the Belmont neighborhood prioritized exceptional design while harmonizing with the local scale. Inspired by Belmont’s historic aesthetics, we crafted a building that resembled a cluster of smaller structures, blending seamlessly into the neighborhood’s character with varied entrances, exits, and sculptural shapes. In order to reduce costs associated with interior conditioned hallways, we designed an exterior covered walkway. This also brought in natural light from both ends of each unit and created an attractive courtyard that is open to residents’ front doors.

The majority of the 28 units are two-bedroom apartments, which prompted us to implement proactive parking solutions and amenities for cyclists and pedestrians. Notably, our one-bedroom affordable units, below-ground parking deck, and unconditioned exterior walkways exemplify this commitment. Each two-bedroom unit features a parking stacker, minimizing the building’s footprint and enhancing pedestrian space. Accessibility to the nearby greenway is also a key feature of the project.

Old Town Kitchen & Cocktails / Rock Hill, SC

Welcome to Old Town Kitchen & Cocktails , a captivating project in a Historic Landmark building. Located near Downtown Rock Hill, this establishment pays homage to its surroundings while offering a unique and inviting atmosphere. A key requirement was to preserve and showcase the existing brickwork, ensuring its historical significance remained unobscured.

Stepping inside, guests are greeted by a vibrant space that reflects the spirit of the community. The design incorporates elements that cater to both sports enthusiasts and academics. Adjacent to the restaurant, a large co****le community league provides entertainment, while the nearby sports and events center hosts minor athletics. The outdoor courtyard, inspired by universities from the 1930s and 1940s, serves as a lush backdrop, creating a collegiate atmosphere with abundant greenery.

Large-scale graphics and paintings adorn the walls, reminiscent of pennants and the aesthetics of a library. The side patio offers a delightful retreat, while the choice of upholstery evokes the nostalgia of an old rugby player's uniform. As the sister establishment of Goodyear House, Old Town Kitchen & Cocktails shares the same ownership, ensuring a commitment to quality and excellence.

Upon entering, patrons are greeted by a beautiful iron gate, setting the tone for an enchanting dining experience. Catenary string lights cast a warm glow, illuminating the space. As daylight fades, low lights create a cozy ambiance despite the soaring 20-foot-tall ceilings. "Library lights" sconces add a touch of elegance and sophistication, completing the captivating design of Old Town Kitchen & Cocktails.

Petty Thieves Brewing/Charlotte, NC. Winner of Charlotte Magazine's Best Brewery Interior.

is a spacious 4,960 square feet destination on Graham Street. The space is adorned with hidden gems and curiosities, evoking a sense of wonder and discovery. Drawing inspiration from the owners’ extensive collection of found objects, the design effortlessly integrates these cool and eclectic pieces. One noteworthy element is a hidden room, reachable via a Twin Peaks-esque corridor and a concealed bookcase. This secret space is crafted to evoke the feeling of being inside a b**r barrel, making it a unique attraction for b**r lovers.

Much of the space was built by the owners, showcasing their woodworking talents. Taxidermy elements create a unique hunting lodge ambiance, while the presence of bank teller lamps and typewriters infuse a nostalgic charm. A stage area and game room offer entertainment options for patrons, further enhancing the lively atmosphere. The interior design embraces a whimsical circus tent aesthetic, complemented by the grandeur of baroque-ish architecture and stained glass windows that bathe the space in a vibrant kaleidoscope of colors. In fact, it has been aptly dubbed the “church for b**r.”

Lola's Cocina is Now Open in South Huntsville, Alabama!

We are beyond excited to announce that Lola’s Cocina is officially open, marking our first restaurant concept in Alabama! Named in honor of owner Phil Sandoval’s mother, Lola, this vibrant new Mexican restaurant brings a fresh, welcoming energy to South Huntsville.

From the architectural design to the full brand identity, our team at Cluck had a blast bringing every detail of this project to life. We designed the complete interior upfit—creating a dynamic 3,500-square-foot space featuring a flexible seating flow across the bar, cozy booths, and a 500-square-foot outdoor patio centered around a shady patio tree. Alongside the physical architecture, we developed Lola’s entire visual identity, including the custom logo, typography, color palette, and custom signage.

Stop by to explore the space, relax on the patio, and grab a delicious meal!

The Joinery Phase 2 Nominated for Charlotte Business Journal's Heavy Hitters Award

Join us in celebrating the super cool news that one of our biggest projects, The Joinery Phase 2 in Optimist Park, is nominated for a Charlotte Business Journal Heavy Hitters award in the Top Mixed-Use Development category. The awards will be announced at a dinner on October 29, and we're looking forward to celebrating our hard work and the other notable projects in Charlotte.

For The Joinery Phase 2, Cluck took a significant amount of care to make this a truly kick ass project with a focus on sustainability. Most notably, the use of cross-laminated timber (CLT) promised a solution that is better than steel, with engineered wood that looks good, sequesters carbon, and is installed in a shorter time. While the structural system came at a slight premium, it also allowed us to reduce the overall height and volume of the building by five feet (one foot per upper five floors), which resulted in construction cost savings for the client.

The walkable, small-scale retail on the ground floor evokes major metropolitan vibes, as if every twenty feet there is something new to look at. We wanted this project to feel like all the best parts of New York, Paris, Copenhagen, and more.

Urban Design consultant Gehl focused on bringing nature to the forefront with the incorporation of different types of flora and fauna. With these details, as well as electric car shares, solar panels, and thoughtful amenities, The Joinery Phase 2 offers a modern living experience that shows that better is not always more expensive. The property is owned by Space Craft.

Suffolk Punch - South Park, Charlotte, NC

Suffolk Punch’s second location expands on a successful brand’s legacy, adapting to a clientele that may be shifting from South End to SouthPark Mall. Anchoring the West Plaza of the popular mall, this revitalized space, once occupied by a national pizza restaurant, cleverly integrates and enhances existing entryways.

The outdoor pavilion, illuminated by skylights, harnesses natural light, ensuring a warm and bright atmosphere during the daytime. We utilized a pre-engineered metal building system for a faster and more cost-effective construction. However, through careful selection of components and the incorporation of Cluck’s unique details and specifications, the final design transcends the typical aesthetic of a pre-engineered metal building.

This venue offers entertainment for all ages, featuring an enhanced playground, outdoor seating, and a stage in its family-friendly outside area where parents can relax with a b**r. Inside, guests can choose from two exterior bars and a central bar with a kitchen and pizza oven. The venue provides diverse dining experiences throughout the day with staggered openings of different concepts, including a unique coffee offering.
