In 2004, Studio C Residential Design, Inc. was formed

 

with Chris as President and Derik Boush as Vice President. Derik brings a specialty in Project management and is responsible for the day-to-day company operations. He also has comprehensive experience in company start-ups and holds a BS degree in Industrial Management and AAS degree in Electrical engineering. Along with 13 years of engineering and project management experience, he previously was a partner and COO of a stock home plan company.  He is affiliated with the National Association of Home Builders and is licensed as a General Contractor in North and South Carolina.

In a quote from the Studio C website, Chris and Derik share their thoughts about their successful business. “Understanding our clients’ needs is the cornerstone of our success at Studio C. Working together as a team, we design custom homes that

     

are as functional as they are beautiful and that truly make dreams come true.”

Studio C is a full-service residential design firm that provides unparalleled homes that are as efficient as they are unique.  The incredibly talented individuals who make up the Studio C team are trained to take conceptual ideas from origination to completion in exacting detail, proportion and scale. This is their company mission.

“We design for the builder as well as the custom consumer market,” says Chris. “From custom home plan design to renovations, additions, 3D modeling, consulting, artist’s renderings, and marketing materials we have the expertise to meet your design needs.”

Many of Studio C’s homes can be found in the Charlotte area’s most exclusive communities – Firethorne, The Peninsula, Highgate, Highgrove, The Club at Longview, Palisades, The Sanctuary, Kingsmead, White Gate, The Point and Bromley, just to name a few.

Our homes encompass a variety of designs including French Country, Craftsman, English Tudor, Cotswold Cottage, and Traditional ranging from 2,000 square feet to 10,000 plus square feet.

 

What Makes Them Memorable

Design features that make a Studio C home memorable are home offices, media rooms, In-Law suites, drop zones, flex spaces, bonus rooms, and outdoor living amenities that include fireplaces, covered verandas, pool houses and cabanas.   Many of the homes are designed for golf course and lake living with dramatic rear views. Upon entering the home, you would have an immediate view to the rear taking advantage of the vistas.

The team at Studio C possess the talent, the skill and yes, the MAGIC to make a dream home come true. You just have to ask and the dream begins.

Testimonials:

Carolina Phoenix Builders

Dale Black from Carolina Phoenix Builders reveals his relationship with Chris and Derik. “I do not do too much with Derik except on the billing side of their business, but he has been helpful and courteous in the limited amount of contact that we have had, Chris, I deal with a lot and we both tend to see the building industry much in the same light as far as trends and the type of architecture that we develop for the market. Chris is very creative in the designs and the use of

 

space in the homes he does for Carolina Phoenix Builders, but most of all he listens, and because he does, our designs are pretty much right on the first time thus eliminating the rework or redo that I have experienced from other Residential Designers. Studio C doesn't just start and finish with Chris and Derik, but the people they have behind the scenes are easy and helpful to work with, and they bring out the best that Studio C has to offer.

Harrington & Associates:

Gene Harrington of Harrington & Associates is very vocal about Chris Boush and Studio C Residential Design, Inc., saying, “I have known Chris for years. I have dealt with him doing design stuff and find him artistic, talented and a man who knows how the market works. In my opinion, he is one of the top two to three in the city in design work.

 

 

Our company does custom work and we don’t repeat a plan. Chris has the talent and the patience to deal with a perfectionist like me!”
Home Built By Carolina Phoenix

Harrington continued, “Our homes are universally handicap accessible and Chris and his team are willing to adapt from elevations to light switches. He is flexible and, I say again, PATIENT, and he doesn’t hesitate to give feedback to any idea. It has been my experience that creative people are protective


of their work. Chris goes the extra mile working with us and gives us the information we need from preliminary marketing information on CD. It’s just a standard thing with him.”

 

 

 

Prestige Custom Homes:

          Mark Anderson of Prestige Custom Homes has known and worked with Chris Boush for the last four years. “Chris adds flair to any design," says Mark. We rely on him. He’s a straight shooter, as am I, and we work well together. We have created some beautiful homes.” Mark continued, “In Longview, he drew up and executed with us a totally unique courtyard with a waterfall coming through the front of the house! It was astounding how he made this work. In the Sanctuary, we built a two million dollar house with two porte-cocheres that were out of this world. He can work with whatever you have, and he nails the details! Most importantly, he listens to what the customer wants and helps us to develop a plan that everyone can agree on. He’s the best!”
