ABOUT US

Our Story

We had the idea for a design studio in 2018 with no real set plans or direction. We knew we wanted to create a space where anyone – whether it be walk-in customers, current clients, or designers, builders and industry partners – could find and coordinate their space and visualize in one place how various finishes would come together. And since nothing we do is simple or average, we wanted to create something beyond your typical design center – we wanted an experience.

Brett has been running the construction company since 2013 and opened a small vacation rental company in 2019. While we had the concept in mind, we decided to start with copper lighting, something we felt was lacking a local presence. We brought in the beautiful copper lanterns and lighting created by Brett’s Aunt’s factory in South Carolina. Just as we neared completion of our showroom, the Covid pandemic hit and fear sunk in – How could we open a store with all of the uncertainties? What if everything collapsed and there was no business to be had?… to our surprise, it was quite the opposite and the construction company and boutique vacation rental company exploded. We became the busiest we had ever been with little time to focus on our dream of opening.

With construction booming, we decided to acquire cabinet lines for our projects as an in-house option and I used quarantine as a time to self-teach design drawing programs. With every new project we took on, our goal for opening grew. As I ran place to place gathering samples for each client, I knew our idea of creating a one-stop design studio was a needed option for myself, my clients, and others in the industry.

Fast forward through the last few years and we are thrilled to be watching our dreams become reality as we offer a unique space for creativity to flourish – we are here and beyond excited to welcome you to our haus, The Henry Haus.
