Chapman Design Group, Inc.Established in 2005, Stonebridge at Rankin’s Lake is proud to be Duke Energy’s “First All-Electric Energy Star Certified Community” in South Carolina. Each home has been constructed with strict guidelines to insure each individual home will receive it’s own Energy Star certificate which in turn results in a reduced rate from Duke Energy on the energy bill for the life of the home.
Through a partnership between the architecture firm, Chapman Design Group, Inc. and it’s construction arm, Icon Construction of South Carolina, Inc., special emphasis is placed on quality construction, methods and design details a well as a stringent construction quality control standard. The total efforts, skills, resources provide unyielding commitment directed toward building superior homes that will bring our homeowners many years of comfortable and carefree living.
This 107 home community was created on a 43 acre property that was planned into two phases. Approximately 17 of these acres are to be left natural, providing the feel of an established neighborhood from the very beginning. The featured attraction is Rankin’s Lake. It is approximately 4 acres in size and was once a well-known fishing lake in Anderson in the 1940s and 50s. A stone bridge will adorn its spillway and will be constructed during the second phase of the project.
The traditional style streetscape is enhanced with grass medians separating curb lines and sidewalks. This feature is accentuated in intermittent Alee Elm Trees and decorative post streetlights throughout the neighborhood. Every front and side lawn as well as all common areas continue to be maintained on a weekly basis by a private landscape maintenance company. This perpetual maintenance provided through the Homeowner’s Association insures a constant harmonious look throughout the entire community.
From day one, several development principles were established and achieved:
• The development’s concept was designed with all water front lots facing into Rankin’s Lake to have the street running between the homes and the lake. With this concept, it allows all of the neighborhood residents and their guest to take advantage of the pathways as well as enjoy to natural scenery of the lake each time the upon entering and exiting the neighborhood. This became a positive selling point as it encouraged the selection of building sites deeper into the development once you passed the lake.
• The design concept of the development was to create a variation of the traditional home neighborhood where the homes, all with front porches are intentionally built closer to the sidewalk lined streets to encourage neighborly interaction.
• Plans were designed with the garages at the rear of the lot as to make the neighborhood less about cars and more about the home and it’s residents. This was prioritized due to many subdivisions today are designed in such a way the home’s primary feature is a front facing garage which often have two cars in the driveway… hence, Stonebridge at Rankin’s Lake want to provide an alternative.
• Each home design includes a spacious front porch, a screened porch and or a sunroom to encourage neighborly interaction and casual living.
• The floor plans include both 2 and 3 bedroom plans with 2 to 3.5 baths with all master suites remaining on the main level.
The entire development would have only Energy Star Certified homes.
Serapool PorselenLocated in İzmir, this villa project harmoniously blends architectural elegance with Serapool’s sophisticated material selection. The Sukabumi Series interacts with the natural green hues of water to create a tropical atmosphere, while the Snow White Series brightens the design with its brilliant white tones that reflect light and add freshness. Snow White and Sukabumi outer trim pieces perfect the transitions, delivering visual continuity and refined edge details. All products offer high durability with a water absorption rate below 0.5%, and exhibit excellent resistance to UV rays, chemical effects, and thermal shocks. With a PTV ≥ 45° slip resistance value, they ensure secure footing on wet surfaces. The result is not just a swimming area, but a luxurious outdoor experience where design, safety, and comfort coexist effortlessly.
Nature's Perspective LandscapingAn 1894 Queen Anne Victorian is made more entertaining with the addition of a large deck for outdoor relaxation. Stairs lead down to a dining area with bluestone paving. Close by, a pizza oven and a built-in outdoor kitchen and countertop allow interaction during meal preparation. A fiberglass pergola with mortared stone bases, chandelier lighting, and a basalt column water feature elegantly finish the space. Further back, nestled by large spruces, blue Adirondack chairs mark a sunken gas-ignition fire pit area (see "Immersive Fire Pit Gathering Area" project).

UserLavender makes a statement in every aspect of design and functionality. As you enter the front door of the home you are immediately engulfed by the covered lanai which runs the entire length of the home. It’s bordered by a uniquely shaped swimming pool and connecting pool deck. A casita with en-suite bathroom is separated from the main residence but is connected to the home through the lanai. The great room spans 31’-8” in length and is bordered by the uniquely designed arched kitchen and arched island. The great room has two sets of 90 degree floor to ceiling, fully retractable and hidden glass doors which open completely allowing for the seamless interaction between the interior and the exterior lanai. The master suite is located on the first floor and comprises the full width of the home. It features two independent vanities and sinks, two separate water closets, and two dressing room/closets that are situated around a free-standing tub and double entry shower. A porte-cochere driveway leads you into a driveway court where a two car garage is on one side of the residence and a single car garage on the opposite side of the driveway court. Lavender has 4,709 square feet of air conditioned area with 7,034 of total under roof square footage.

Rob Wellington Quigley FaiaTorr Kaelan Mixed Use / San Diego, California
This five-story, zero energy mixed-use building sits in the shadow of the new Central Library and houses the Quigley Architectural offices. The "juicy joint" block is animated by San Diego's bright sun and protects a series of balconies and bay windows meant to encourage an interactive "conversation" with the street.
42' wide and constructed of fireproof materials, a penthouse rental unit perches above the offices and faces 13th street. Unusual in a dense urban situation, the top floor living/dining area has light from the ceiling and three sides allowing the path of the sun to continually alter the mood of the space.
Archaic California and City laws prohibited logical grey water recycling. The unusual roof form provides the proper angle for solar collectors and guides rain water to the back of the site where it is channeled and filtered through gardens and stones before it reaches the street.
The unique penthouse is the counterpoint that allows you to observe the city’s East Village below as it evolves.
