2006 - The Watauga Lake House, Butler TN, on Lake Watauga.  Belongs primarily to Hautop's uncle and family.  Hautop traded design and construction in exchange for a piece of ownership.

2010 - The Mike Black and Caroline Mamoulides Renovation, aka the Medway Renovation, 2415 Medway Drive, Raleigh.  This sedate house has a big surprise in the back yard!
