STITCH Design Shop—a full-service modern architecture and interior design firm with offices in Winston-Salem, Greensboro, and Boone—has opened its new headquarters at 1105 Burke Street in downtown Winston-Salem. The new location expands its headquarters to 7,000 square feet.

Formerly home to a Studebaker dealership, the original, retro-style building on Burke Street has been reimagined by the firm’s principal architects and founding partners Pete Fala, Ben Schwab, and Adam Sebastian.

“Our state-of-the-art headquarters allows us to showcase design offerings to our statewide network in new ways, and also to engage with the surrounding community,” says Fala. “This location serves as another access point for local clients utilizing our recently launched residential design studio STITCH Dwellings.”

The vintage building’s modern exterior features new glazing, paint and signage. Inside, the multi-functional designed space includes a reception lounge filled with modern furnishings, a hospitality-focused conference room for client presentations and a wellness area for both staff and guests. Reflecting pride in the region, the interior decor theme features art and signage from iconic area brands and companies such as Davis Furniture, Viator Design and Construction, Tacky Graphics, Ember Audio and others.

For the STITCH Design Shop team, open workstations foster team collaboration, a virtual reality (VR) room is used for exploring architectural models, and an extensive materials library stores a range of finish samples. 

“We’re here to serve clients with a variety of project needs,” says Taylor Ghost, who as director of interior design oversees all commercial and residential projects. “Corporate entities, small businesses, public, not-for-profit organizations and homeowners are invited to meet with us in our new headquarters.”

Helmed by a 21-person team of expert architects and interior designers, STITCH Design Shop’s portfolio includes over a decade of award-winning, commercial design projects, including the Kaleideum Children’s Museum, Bailey South complex and Art For Art’s Sake Center for the Arts.
