An upcoming project, set on 100 acres in the South Carolina Lowcountry with only one buildable acre, features a historically inspired estate that epitomizes restrained elegance. Designed to capture the quiet dignity of the South’s grand old homes, this residence draws inspiration from the Greek Revival architecture of the four decades prior to the Civil War. It merges classical elements with vernacular touches, achieving a relaxed refinement that harmonizes beautifully with the Lowcountry setting.

Despite its limited buildable space, the home boasts dual frontage. A motor court welcomes guests to the formal entry, while a more casual façade overlooks a historic Oak Allée. To take full advantage of this magnificent natural feature, the design team created a one-level home, ensuring its height would evoke an instant sense of presence, echoing the maturity of the ancient live oaks beyond.
