02The Story
The Grace St Duplex is part of a 10-unit Hykal Homes development in Rocky Mount, NC — a community of properties designed specifically for traveling professionals seeking comfortable, stylish mid-term housing. The project was conceived as more than a rental unit: it was designed to create a community asset in a neighborhood that deserved thoughtful investment.
03The Before
Where We Started.
Mid-term rental properties require a different design calculus than owner-occupied homes. Durability, functionality, and style all have to work together — the space needs to feel like a home, not a hotel, while standing up to the demands of rotating occupancy.

04What We Saw
We saw an opportunity to bring genuine design quality to a rental market that often settles for the minimum. Traveling professionals deserve spaces that feel considered — not just functional. The Grace St Duplex was designed to be a place people actually want to come home to.
05What We Changed
Exterior
The exterior combines Southern character with modern detailing — a design approach that respects the neighborhood context while creating a property that stands apart.
Interiors
The interiors were designed for comfort and durability — materials and finishes selected to hold up to mid-term rental use without sacrificing the quality that makes a space feel like a home.
Furnishings
The property was furnished as part of the design scope — selections made to create a cohesive, livable environment for traveling professionals.
Community Context
The Grace St Duplex was designed as part of a larger development strategy — a contribution to the neighborhood as much as a rental investment.
