Description: The owners of this home travel extensively and appreciate the great outdoors. Global travels shaped their desire for a home that embraces nature. The bridge connecting the sleeping and living structures allows cool ocean breezes to pass from the marsh to the front yard; decks and stairs to pool and terrace visually connect inside and out. Most walls from the street are solid, providing privacy, yet they open to rooms of glass, timber and soaring ceilings with views of Bass and Cinder Creeks and Folly Island.
The great room feels like some sort of natural habitat; besides the great views, a live-edge side table, root-ball bases on the coffee table, plants, natural finishes and plenty of open space connect the space to its surroundings even more. Here you can see how hugging as many trees as possible in the site planning can pay off — not only are the live oaks beautiful to admire, but they provide a shade canopy that cuts down on energy costs during the long, hot summer months.
This space feels like a weekend get away. i like how the table is used maybe as the focal point of the room and then everything else reacts off of it. i like the plush carpet very cozy if getting up and not wanting to walk on the cold floor. the room as a whole feels cozy and relaxing a nice place to read a book and drink some hot tea or cofee. i love what they did with the colors and accesories.
Interesting that they build a partition for TV and fireplace where a see-through view ought to have been. But I like that it give privacy to an otherwise very open area.
