Founder of KNIGHTDesign, Atlanta, GA<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Education<\/strong>: 
Bachelor of Architecture, UNC Charlotte (1977)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Knight founded KNIGHTDesign in 1982 “working out of my loft office in the house I restored in the historic district in Charlotte’s Fourth Ward,” he recalls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Specializing in residential architecture and design, KNIGHTDesign provides full architectural services that include zoning analysis, code review, design, and construction documents for residential, renovation, adaptive use, and preservation projects. Knight has acquired numerous awards and recognitions involving his work throughout his career. His own home made a featured story in the Southern Living magazine. John Knight is a prominent local architect and community member.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John is now based in Atlanta, GA, and continues to focus his work on custom residential projects in urban neighborhoods. KNIGHTDesign’s process includes a pre-planning phase, a design phase, and a construction phase. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project owner and his partner wanted to upgrade their retail establishment with a more custom look and one that better displayed their merchandise. The result was that of custom cabinetry and a display area done solely out of solid cherry wood. The centerpiece of the store was a light fixture the owner and I selected while on a trip to New York City. The project won a Gold Award from the Institute of Business Designers (IBD) in the category of Shops, Stores, and Showrooms.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
