Pursley Dixon Architecture

What Pursley Dixon Architecture does

Pursley Dixon Architecture (legal entity Pursley Dixon Architecture Inc., operating as The Pursley Dixon Studio) is a privately held architecture and interior design firm headquartered at 311 Atherton Street, Charlotte, North Carolina. Founded in 2005 by Ken Pursley and joined as co-founder by Craig Dixon in 2012, the firm employs more than twenty professionals, fifteen of whom work in the architectural practice, with the balance supporting interior design, operations, and marketing. The firm is partner-owned and has no external institutional investment, funding rounds, or parent company; partners include Ken Pursley (Founder/CEO), Craig Dixon (Director of Architecture), Bronwyn Ford (Director of Interiors), and Day Palmer (COO).

The studio's core offering is bespoke residential architecture and interior design for high-net-worth homeowners across more than thirteen U.S. states, including North Carolina, South Carolina, New York, California, Colorado, Illinois, Georgia, Florida, Maryland, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, and Wyoming. Projects span primary residences, vacation homes, and estates across styles ranging from British West Indies coastal retreats and Appalachian mountain cabins to classical stone manors and modern urban town houses. The firm has extended the brand into two adjacent product lines: the ITO Collection, a retail shop selling curated vintage and artisanal home goods under Bronwyn Ford's curation, and 'Finding Home,' a Rizzoli-published monograph featuring fifteen signature projects.

Revenue is generated through professional services fees quoted per project (typically as a percentage of construction cost or hourly rates), plus retail revenue from the ITO Collection. Go-to-market is sales-led and reputation-driven: the firm acquires clients via design press coverage (Architectural Digest, Veranda, Luxe Interiors + Design, House Beautiful), design awards (Luxe Gold List, ADAC/Veranda Southeast Residential Designer of the Year, Philip Trammell Shutze Award), the published monograph, and a recurring ecosystem of named builder and interior-designer partners such as Andrew Roby, Coral Construction, Whitlock Builders, and Suzanne Kasler Interiors. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.
