Seabird Construction Takes Off
The space is coming together beautifully at Seabird in Wilmington! The new storefront, designed using historic photos as a reference, has been installed with a custom prismatic glass transom made by local artisan Enchanted Realm (or Enchanted Bill, as we like to call him). Tile is being installed and it won’t be too long before Chef Dean Neff can get some cooks in this kitchen!
Looking Back at Longleaf
This project was about honoring the original mid century structure while building a contemporary future. Our goal was to honor the travel lodge era, while creating spaces unique to The Longleaf - preserving the existing facade, removing the arched soffits and bulky columns, and reintroducing the clean lines and slender structure.

Historic Lenoir, NC Building Brought Back to Life
This ca 1935 commercial building was on the brink of despair, with a collapsing roof and significant water damage, when David Maurer purchased it in early 2019. The first floor was originally an ice cream shop and then evolved into a restaurant and multiple later uses.

[VIDEO] W. Carter Winkler House Transformation in Wilkesboro, NC
Since 1892, the W. Carter Winkler house—positioned in the center of Wilkesboro, NC —has endured throughout many years of growth, expansion and revitalization of Downtown Historic Wilkesboro, while maintaining its small-town charm.
Listed in the National Register of Historic Places, the house was lovingly restored by the Presnells after being purchased from Preservation NC. Check out the video below to see how the Winkler House looks now.
Maurer Architecture is so honored to have been involved in this beautiful restoration!
