Classical English design with some traditional Spanish influences insprired this collection. The large scale pieces provide a weighty presence without being overwhelming, and fine attention to details in materials, finish and custom hardwarecreate an overall sophistication. Manchester Court mixes the feeling of the "old world" lifestyle with casual elegance. Tuscan Snoke Cherry finish is a mix of rich, worn & antiqued cherry with a black emulsion glaze that allows the warmth of the cherry to rise through the surface. Cases have rub-through, worn edges & slight destressing. Beautiful & classic, the hardware features a bale pull that is very simple in design, There is also a matching drop pendant & ring pull. The finish on the hardware is an updated, distressed pewter with gold highlights. Defined by its plinth bases, large square turnings & intricate molding that sheath every door, drawer & panel, each piece lends itself to a rejuvenated traditional aesthetic that is versatile for today's more eclectic tastes.

The new flooring throughout is DuChateau Villandry with added creamy white wall and warm wood ceiling beams overhead, creates a modern rustic elegance with the most stunning views of the hillside summit.

Little Hawkins Island was seven years in the making from design and permitting through construction and punch out. The multiple award winning design was inspired by Spanish Colonial architecture with California Mission influences and developed for the corporation or family who entertains. With 5 custom fireplaces, 75+ palm trees, fountain, courtyards, and extensive use of covered outdoor spaces; Little Hawkins Island is truly a Resort Residence that will easily accommodate parties of 250 or more people. The concept of a “village” was used to promote movement among 4 independent buildings for residents and guests alike to enjoy the year round natural beauty and climate of the Golden Isles. The architectural scale and attention to detail throughout the campus is exemplary. From the heavy mud set Spanish barrel tile roof to the monolithic solid concrete portico with its’ custom carved cartouche at the entrance, every opportunity was seized to match the style and grace of the best properties built in a bygone era.
