Peter Tart Architect provides residential architectural services in Asheville and Western North Carolina, with a focus on thoughtful design, careful detailing, and a clear understanding of each project’s context. The work ranges from new construction to renovations and additions, with an emphasis on creating spaces that are both functional and enduring.
Renovation projects require a thoughtful approach to existing homes, with a focus on improving functionality, livability, and natural light while respecting the character of the original structure. Based in Asheville, NC, our work often involves rethinking layout and connection between spaces, whether in a traditional bungalow or a mountain home in Western North Carolina.
Additions are designed to integrate seamlessly with the existing architecture, creating cohesive, lasting improvements that feel natural to the home rather than imposed.
Projects extend throughout Asheville and Western North Carolina, with select work in the Charlotte area.

Each new project begins with a careful study of site, program, and client goals. The design process balances aesthetics, function, and constructability to produce buildings that respond to their surroundings and support the way people live and work. Projects range from custom homes to small commercial and institutional work, with attention to proportion, materials, and long-term performance.

Historic projects are approached with respect for the original structure and its architectural significance. The work focuses on preserving key elements while updating the building to meet current needs. Careful detailing and material selection ensure that interventions are appropriate and consistent with the character of the existing architecture.
Master planning considers the broader context of a site, including circulation, land use, and long-term growth. Whether working on small developments or larger community plans across Western North Carolina, the focus is on creating environments that are well-organized, efficient, and responsive to both natural and built conditions.
