At ADAMS DesignBuild, we've been designing and building custom homes in Winston-Salem and the Piedmont Triad for over 55 years — and in recent years, modern design has become more and more popular. Not the stark, minimal modernism that looks better in a magazine than it lives in, but a grounded, North Carolina version of modern: homes that use clean lines and honest materials to connect you to the landscape, fill your rooms with natural light, and make daily life genuinely better.

Whether you're looking to build an infill home in an established Winston-Salem neighborhood, a river-view retreat on a wooded hillside, or a contemporary home in a new development, we design it from scratch around your lot, your lifestyle, and your vision.

Modern — Done Right

Modern homes aren't defined by any single material or feature. They're defined by a set of principles: honest use of materials, strong horizontal lines, generous glazing that brings the outdoors in, and open floor plans that flow naturally from one space to the next.

Done well, a modern home feels inevitable — like it couldn't exist anywhere but exactly where it sits. That's what we're building toward in every design we develop.

Where We Build

We design and build modern homes for clients throughout Forsyth County, Davie County, Yadkin County, Stokes County, and parts of Davidson County — including the communities of Winston-Salem, Lewisville, Pfafftown, Clemmons, Advance, Mocksville, and the surrounding rural areas.
