This June marks the fifth anniversary of Center Studio Architecture. Architects David Arneson and Scott Harmon created the studio on June 1st, 2004.

After almost a year working from their respective homes, the studio was given its first official home at 315 E. Chapel Hill Street in downtown Durham. The vintage 60’s office building was then headquarters of the Mutual Community Savings Bank.

In August 2006, with the advent of its first full-time employee, the studio moved to its current location at 339 W Main Street, the historic Five Points Loan Company building. Now totaling six, the studio includes Will Rhodenhiser, Chris Bozzelli, Dawn Bland, and Tom Merrigan.

The practice includes a mix of custom residential design, along with numerous commercial and mixed-use projects in downtown, including The King’s Daughters Inn, Aliva’s Durham Bistro, Vert & Vogue, The Studebaker Building, Ogilvy, Penny Furniture, and Mangum 506 Condominiums.

Toast, the studio’s most recent restaurant design, will be the host for the studio’s five-year anniversary celebration on Friday, June 5th, from 5pm – 9pm. In addition to the famous Five Points Martini (a pomegranate wonder invented by the studio at its grand opening party in 2006), Billy and Kelli Cotter will debut the new Five Points Crostini, created to perfectly compliment the martini.

Center Studio loves Durham, loves downtown, and appreciates all the ways we have been supported by our clients and the community.
