The Carolina Dining Room had become dated after years of hard use. Glavé & Holmes Architecture (G&HA) took on the challenge of renovating and refurbishing the space, working in tandem with a local architectural firm. Everything was renewed or replaced except for the luxurious Venetian glass chandeliers, which have added glamour to the room for a half-century. The G&HA design concept honors the architecture of the venerated space, but has freshened and lightened the former palette.
