About In Situ Studio
In Situ Studio is an intentionally small, design-based practice that specializes in modern, sustainable architecture.
We have been recognized for the quality of our work regardless of building type. More than specializing in a product, we rely on a time-intensive, collaborative design process to produce beautiful, well-functioning architecture. We value architecture that is timeless and permanent in the way it reflects a long-term commitment to the quality of a place.
Regardless of the scale of a program, we find great pleasure in simple things; in the ways a breeze fills a room; in the way light falls on a window sill; in the way people inhabit their spaces; in the way architecture supports routine – indeed it is these fundamental qualities that make great space.
Our most important skill is our ability to listen to our clients and distill a range of priorities into a singular, poetic design concept.

The program includes a ground-level guest suite to accommodate long stays they and other distant families make on a regular basis.
The Yamato Philbeck Residence is located at the edge of a deep ravine, between the forest and a suburban street. Four site walls create a perch for the main volume of the house – a spare box with articulated roof forms.
The house is set in a hill, just below the crest, overlooking a lake. The entry drive meanders through a hardwood forest and up the hill, approaching the house from the south.
The Nolintha Residence is a renovation and small addition to an historic, 1920s four-square house in downtown Raleigh. Our clients, who are brother and sister, are successful restaurateurs.
