Shaw Design Associates, P.A

At Shaw Design Associates, we are passionate about creating meaningful architecture that rises above the sum of its parts. Founded in 1995 by Keith Shaw, AIA, our team of design professionals is dedicated to making a space that you will call home. We specialize in creating customized homes of distinction, focusing on personal style and functional living.

Our Background

Since our inception, we have crafted hundreds of unique residences in Chapel Hill, Raleigh, Durham, and other surrounding Triangle communities. Our portfolio includes architectural styles ranging from Contemporary to Craftsman, French Country, Modern, and Classical. In addition to custom residences, we have been involved in area historic renovations, major additions, total transformations, and community development.

Our Commitment to Sustainability

We are committed to designing energy-efficient homes that not only conserve natural resources but also minimize building and utility costs. Our team works closely with Energy Star Certified builders who share our commitment to advancing Green Initiatives. Our approach focuses on intuitive sustainable principles, such as orienting homes to maximize natural light and ventilation, as well as incorporating state-of-the-art technologies.

Our Design Process

Our client-driven team approach focuses on functional everyday living, sustainability, and expressing each individual client's unique personal style. We believe that the completion of a custom home relies on a team of experts. We retain relationships with some of the finest and most seasoned industry professionals in and around Wake County, Chatham County, Orange County, and Durham County. Every detail and aspect of the home - from site placement to lighting - is carefully considered. Our client communication, team collaboration, and outside-of-the-box thinking in our design approach have built our firm's reputation and made us a Triangle favorite for over 25 years.
