The Studio of Christopher Phelps

The Studio of Christopher Phelps Residential Design Firm Designing homes for the art of living. Diversity is a hallmark of Christopher Phelps and Associates.

Founded in 1989, The Studio of Christopher Phelps is a residential design firm that is committed to the simple endeavor of creating a residential environment that is tailored specifically to the needs of our clientele. With literally thousands of homes designed in the Carolinas over the years, Christopher Phelps has spent a sizable amount of his professional life listening and developing designs f

or his clients that reflect their needs and desires with attention to detail and finish. As our firm enters its third decade, we find ourselves emerging from a recessionary economic climate that is clearly uprooting the emphasis of our industry and placing priority on space allotment, overall size, and budget restraints. The Studio of Christopher Phelps has historically worked side by side with some of the Carolinas best residential builders and takes great pride in keeping in step with the market changes and advancements. We are comfortable designing a twenty five hundred square foot empty nester home or a fifteen thousand square foot personal estate. If the calling is for a French inspired country home or a mountain contemporary home, Christopher Phelps has the understanding and vision to develop the design and meet the client’s needs. We invite you take the first step toward creating your new custom home by reaching out to set up a meeting with Chris. An initial design exploratory meeting will give you an opportunity to discuss the process of designing your new home with The Studio of Christopher Phelps. Over the years we have realized that a large percentage of our clients have never employed the services of a residential design firm and endured the process of designing a new home. We understand this and will work relentlessly to make this an enjoyable and worthwhile experience. We look forward to being involved in your upcoming new home project.

It’s hard to believe that 2025 is a wrap in less than 10 hours!

This is an excellent time to reflect on all the wonderful projects I have worked on this year. I appreciate my clients, vendors, and partners so very much. And 2026 is looking to be a busy year for the studio, for which I am grateful. So much cool stuff lies ahead!! 😃

This was a special year for us for another reason: We launched a new trademark, brand identity system, and website, which I am quite proud of. The design crystallizes and expresses the essence of my career, the studio, and my love for residential architecture.

In January, this work will be featured in Flagship Annual Showcase magazine. 8,000 entries nationwide led to 800 award-winning projects, and we are thrilled to be included among the best and the brightest leading the way in corporate branding design.

Big shout-out and thanks to Denise Lorraine Davis, who made it her mission to rebrand by harnessing the spirit of the great, storied architect and designer Frank Lloyd Wright – whom I ardently admire.

All the Best for #2026 🙌🏻

I heard the bells on Christmas Day. Their old, familiar carols play. And wild and sweet, the words repeat. Of peace on earth, good-will to men!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and those you ♥️!
May your day be full of merriment and joy!

Love viewing a facade at different times of day and weather conditions to explore how light transforms color and atmosphere.

This Tuscan architecture draws inspiration from Tuscany’s countryside, emphasizing the rustic charm of natural materials such as stone and terracotta. A timeless, simple elegance of an Italian farmhouse estate that harmonizes with nature.

It’s that time of year when holiday decor🎄starts to appear on building facades and landscapes.

I love how this garland follows along the focal point arched entryway.

Nutcrackers and all! Spectacular! ✨

The greatest denominator for me in creating beautiful homes is to make them timeless. This estate and guest cottage are nestled in rolling pasturelands with the scenic mountain views of South Asheville. Ten years never looked so good. Make time for the things you want to do. ☺️
