Family Home on Sullivan’s Island
“Well-detailed high-end home. Some jurors called this crisp, fresh shingle style home a Neo-Craftsman. Whatever you call it, it appears to have universal appeal. Another island home for this Architect, once again successfully solving the complex requirements of the island mandates along with the lifestyle and land needs for the happy homeowners. The Architect added significant value to this project.”
Retirement Home on the Golf Course
“Architect skillfully broke up the mass of the house through the use of gables, shed-roofed popouts, stairways, pergolas and porches. The end result is a cozy house on a heavily wooded lot. Outdoor living spaces were included, some roofed and another with a pergola trellis. Lots of windows with views to nature and natural light in the interior. Shingle siding contributes to the homey atmosphere. Building on an island has its own special architectural requirements. This Architect specializes in successfully accomplishing this for many clients. The Architect added significant value to this project.”
Seabrook Village Cottage Home
“Extremely professional design. The corner stair/elevator tower is what sets off the massing for this house and makes it so effective and dramatic. The neutral colors also maintain the professional appearance, along with the horizontal bands of woodwork on the exterior. Residential sense of scale. Island legal requirements satisfied along with meeting and exceeding the client programmed needs. And the interior continues the theme of high-end architectural details throughout. The Architect added significant value to this project.”
