There’s a renaissance sweeping Detroit, and partners Keith Bynum and Evan Thomas are helping restore this iconic American city, one block at a time. Along with Detroit native and real estate expert Shea Hicks-Whitfield, these scrappy visionaries buy up as many run-down and abandoned houses on a single block as they can. They take them down to the studs, living in the houses while they work, and create affordable and stylish starter homes for first time homebuyers.

Each home is a blank canvas for designer Keith and carpenter/builder Evan, showcasing artful and surprising aesthetics and selling them fully furnished. Their mantra is that everyone deserves good design.
