Reid has devoted his career to identifying the potential concealed beneath a tangle of vines on an untouched building site or behind the cracked plaster walls of an old house.  

He restored a neglected 18th century residence for his family, so he is aware of the anxieties that accompany complex construction projects and aims to make the design process easy and fun for his clients. He spent his childhood years crawling around job sites with his dad, a builder, so he understands construction and enjoys working in close collaboration with skilled tradespeople to create beautiful homes.     

Reid established CH Architects in 2016 to focus exclusively on high-end custom residential architecture. He lives in Hillsborough, NC with his wife, Louise, and daughters, Sallie and Frances.
