project spotlight: MIKE WHITE AND BAO BUI On the west side of Mt. Sequoyah in Fayetteville sits a fantastically transformed modern home owned by Mike White and Bao Bui. We worked with the homeowners and the architects at Modus Studio (modusstudio.com) to renovate the 1980’s ranch into a sleek new look. We began the project by adding onto the house and giving it more square footage, but the real change came from remodeling the existing home, both interior and exterior, to give it the modern look. This home now has a very straight, clean lines and lots of architectural detail with customizations specifically for the homeowners. Renovations were extensive and included: the master suite, change of roofline from a pitched roof to a near flat roof, store front windows, new paint inside and out, a change from exterior brick and siding to metal and cedar rainscreen, a new office space with cantilevered built-in desk and pop-out window, transformation of the carport to a closed-in double car garage, and the addition of 400sf of living space. Mike and Bao were great to work with, easy-going and gracious when the rainy weather constrained our initial schedule. Here’s what they have to say about our company: “Working with Jacob and all the guys with GB Group Inc. has been a pleasure. When we embarked on our renovation/addition project, we really didn’t know what to expect. Our project was not your standard cookie-cutter type project and it involved a lot of rather uncommon building materials and techniques. GB Group has really been up to the task in figuring out the best methods of building our dream home and has done so while upholding the highest levels of quality workmanship. They take a tremendous amount of pride in their work. We would absolutely recommend GB Group Inc. to anyone thinking about building a new home, or starting a renovation/addition to their existing home.” Thank you guys for being so fantastic! It was a pleasure and an honor to work with you both and we are so grateful to have been part of such an amazing project! Thank you, thank you!
