Wilmington, North Carolina
What We Do
We design and build homes AND RENOVATIONS with clarity and purpose.
Each project begins by understanding how the home should function—how spaces connect, how movement flows, and where it falls short.
We resolve those conditions first.
Then we build, with the same level of discipline and care.
Problems We Solve
Where We Begin
Homes that no longer FIT how you live
Too Many Decisions Without Clear Direction
Layouts that DON'T FLOW
Kitchens that function poorly
Underused or awkward spaces
Additions that feel disconnected
We don't design around these problems; we fix them!
Beach Condo Refresh
Upscale coastal transformation turning a dated Wrightsville Beach condo into a sophisticated family haven.
Custom Porch Addition
A stunning porch extension introduces premium outdoor living and fluid gathering space to an existing estate.
Twin Islands
Intelligent dual-island engineering brings high-end flow and social seating to a restrictively narrow kitchen.

Our Approach
Most projects separate design from construction. At Avocet, they are developed together—resulting in work that is cohesive, resolved from the outset, and defined by proportion, movement, and use.

Chris and Michele Pasch were phenomenal to work with on my Trex deck rebuild project. Chris is a skilled carpenter whose listening skills, attention to detail, and recommendations for quality aesthetic design were exemplary. All of Chris’s workers showed up on time and cleaned up the job after each day’s work. I had such a great experience that Chris is now finishing a tongue and groove project for my studio office. I’d recommend Chris and his team above all the competition.

The Avocet team was so great to work with, and we would absolutely refer to anyone who wants the job done right!! We absolutely love what they helped us design and build! Great communication throughout the process, and great team. They also did something unique, transforming our shed to a tiki bar and it has been fabulous!!

We added on over 1100 square feet with a new master suite, additional bedroom and mud room. Chris and Michelle are excellent to work with—professional, timely and honest. Everything you want in a contractor for a remodel. We are so grateful for the space they gave our family to grow and enjoy our home even more. Cannot recommend Avocet Design enough!
