Ever since he followed his dad, a building contractor, on trips to the lumber yard, Chris Payson has had a passion for remodeling. He followed that passion, and his desire to serve, to the Air Force. After graduating with top honors from the Naval Construction Training Center, he specialized in structural systems for engineering squadrons.
Following his military service, he continued to hone his craft as he worked for Philadelphia-area builders. In 2007, he and his wife Angela, set out to serve their neighbors, one remodeling project at a time. Working out of their living room, they launched West Chester Design Build. 2 years ago, West Chester Design Build evolved from a small local business, to COCOON an award-winning home remodeling company. The COCOON Design Studio is now a destination in the area for home remodeling and positive transformation.
COCOON is a full-service design-build remodeling company offering Architectural Design, Interior Design and Construction services for families looking to transform their home by adding an addition or remodeling their kitchen, bathroom, or basement.
Christopher Lake, a Project Manager for COCOON has been coaching his daughters, Alexa & Addy’s sports teams for 5 years. Chris considers GVCO to be a terrific organization and considers GVBL to be a bonus for the community. He likes to see the kid’s progress throughout the season, see their confidence grow & see them excited & happy. By teaching teamwork & to rely on each other is something they will take with them as they grow into adults. Chris believes in addition to being a coach he is also a cheerleader for the players.
