“You make our day, every day by creating this masterpiece which we get to enjoy.”

“Toby Witte worked closely with us to design the modern home of our dreams. We came to Toby with a set budget and he did an excellent job of accommodating our budget while also keeping the important aspects of the design in play. Toby has a wonderfully creative mind and is not afraid to design a plan which is forward thinking while also based in traditional concepts used by his predecessors such as Bauhaus and Frank Lloyd Wright. Toby does a great job of considering the environment in building a "green" home while also taking into consideration how to incorporate elements such as sun and moonlight into the interior of the home. His use of the many windows, strategically placed, has been a source of pleasure for us as we enjoy beams of sun and moonlight daily. Toby goes above and beyond to ensure the home is structurally sound and to ensure that proper drainage is top of mind. Toby's understanding of modern style is paramount in his design and we were thrilled with the interior customizations and choices of lighting, cabinetry, countertops, and flooring. Toby also designed a unique and cool landscape/hardscape plan for us which was carefully integrated into the house exterior to enhance the amazing highlights such as our cantilevered living space. We highly recommend Toby Witte, Wittehaus for your modern home design and build. We absolutely LOVE our home and you will too!”

“As a designer, he brings that certain European / German design feel to a project that cannot be translated.”

“I highly recommend Toby and his team. We worked together on several high-end, modern European design houses. As a designer, he brings that certain European / German design feel to a project that cannot be translated. As a builder, he has a meticulous eye for detail and keeps his subcontractors on their toes. As a professional, Toby is everything you expect from an A+ rated builder.”

“If you want to build your house the way you envision it -- get Toby on the speed dial. He is priceless.”

“Toby is a genius and when we sat down with him -- he listened for a loooong time. And then he came up with his clear vision -- some of what he envisioned we never even mentioned. However, it was perfect. We loved his vision. Our retirement house is probably 10-15 years out. But if you want to build your house the way you envision it -- get Toby on the speed dial. He is priceless.”

“I have people asking me all the time when they can expect the next Wittehaus home to come available.”

“I have been a fan of Toby's for several years now. I sought Toby out for my own project because he was one of very few architects in Charlotte with a modern energy efficient practice, and I was drawn to his aesthetic. I am a real estate broker and a home stager. Recently, I have had the pleasure of listing and staging Toby's Oaklawn project. This house was picked up by the Charlotte Observer in their real estate section. I can honestly report that I had more people come through this open house, including other designers and real estate professionals, than I have ever had. Approximately 150 people walked through Toby's Oaklawn house in one day. We received multiple offers on this beautiful property and sold over list price. Toby's business model, like his design, is smart and efficient. I have people asking me all the time when they can expect the next Wittehaus home to come available. For anyone who seeks modern design Wittehaus is your place.”

“It was an absolute pleasure working with Toby”

“Toby is a class act! His design completely exceeded our expectations, his suggestions were always on point and he honored our humble budget without ever making us feel less-than. We are first time home owners and this was our first addition project and Toby was extremely helpful in choosing our contractor. Toby is very punctual, never missed a deadline and was always available to us with any questions we had. It was an absolute pleasure working with Toby, we are extremely proud of our Wittehaus designed addition.”

“I couldn’t be happier with my purchase.”

“Toby makes some of the best modern homes in Charlotte. I purchased this home in 2020 and couldn’t be happier with my purchase. I was told by electricians that my house is a TANK and would stand for over a hundred years the way it was built. Feel free to read more about that on Toby’s website. The house is very well designed to maximize space. Toby has also been extremely responsive to my questions and replies usually within minutes to the hour. He has handled any minor concerns, even things out of his control and duty. These homes allow you to live “in the future”, and the future is now.”

“The spaces he creates, their connection to each other, and the overarching composition are designed to evoke feelings of security, feelings of grandeur, feelings of surprise and feelings of connectivity.”

“Toby Witte of Wittehaus is a modern architecture marvel. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Toby in every aspect of the design and construction process. He is an immensely creative, bold and fun designer to work with. His passion for modern design radiates from his work. I have been highly impressed with Toby’s ability to zoom in on every intricate detail, and zoom out on the holistic vision of the entire ensemble. The spaces he creates, their connection to each other, and the overarching composition are designed to evoke certain feelings. Feelings of security, feelings of grandeur, feelings of surprise and feelings of connectivity. I have learned a lot about good design, and modern design from Toby. His work tells a story. From the subtleties he shapes in, to the bold cantilever projections, Toby’s work is an artful expression of the client and his playful imagination. I relish the time we spend together designing, building, collaborating, and having some raw fun in our profession.”

 “Toby acts as a guide, inspiring a high level of confidence and trust throughout the project.”

“I had the pleasure of working with Toby Witte of Wittehaus on a recent modern home project in Charlotte, NC, and the experience was both inspiring and enjoyable. His creative process is so well balanced, providing reassuring structure without ever feeling limiting, and his ability to envision and create something beautiful, inspiring, and new with as much or as little client input is amazing to experience. Toby also has a knack for understanding how spaces will be ultimately used, what they will look like, and how they will feel before they ever exist. In this way, Toby acts as a guide, inspiring a high level of confidence and trust throughout the project. And did I mention that Toby makes the whole process fun? Yes, Toby is an extremely talented, dynamic architect who is also lots of fun to be around.

I highly recommend Toby Witte for his expertise as an architect and builder, especially with innovative, awe-inspiring modern and contemporary residences.”
