NCModernistLouis Cherry FAIA is a prominent architect based in Raleigh NC, specializing in modern design for residential, restaurant (Death and Taxes, Crawford and Son), and community-based facilities. Cherry has a Bachelor of Fine Arts from East Carolina University and a Master of Architecture from the NCSU College of Design. He co-founded Cherry Huffman Architects in 1992, named North Carolina's 2009 Firm of the Year by NC AIA. He later established a solo practice, Louis Cherry Architecture, in 2013. He is also a practicing artist and was a co-owner of the former Raleigh restaurant Enoteca Vin on Glenwood Avenue.  His own modern home in Raleigh's Oakwood Historic District, co-owned with wife Marsha Gordon, gained national attention in 2014 when a neighbor took them to court over the design. Good news: their house won.
