Event to be held at our office located at 4037 Masonboro Loop Rd Homeowner Denise Smith says they love the house, crediting Harris, local landscape architect David Donohue of Native Landscapes, local builder Fran Colangelo, and project superintendent Adam Butler of Kingpost. “Dan and Denise had two requests: incor-porating two bronze statues from their previ-ous home and to design this new garden to be low maintenance,” Donohue says. Colangelo has known the Smiths for 20 years. “A rewarding part of my job as a builder is working with clients like Denise and Dan,” he says. “It’s very rare. … Design-wise, Denise is very self-reliant. She had a vision for the home’s interior, and it was my goal to help create that vision for her.” As for her personal design style, Smith says, “I’m not sure I have a distinctive style. I just buy what I like and what is comfortable and goes.” When asked what element of the home he is most proud of, Harris replies, “It’s always great when you have a good team throughout the building process. When all of the ele-ments are working together — like for this home — well, that’s when I am most proud.” Giving a nod to his surroundings, he continues, “I don’t want any one element to stand out. I want a person’s response to be, ‘What a nice home.’ That’s my proudest accomplishment.” 80 WBM may 2015
