The Laurel was a project that required a rigorous lesson in southern architectural vernacular. The site being located in the hot climate of the Carolina shoreline, the client was eager to capture cross breezes and utilize outdoor entertainment spaces. The home was designed with three covered porches, one partially covered courtyard, and one screened porch, all accessed by way of French doors and extra tall double-hung windows. The open main level floor plan centers on common livings spaces, while still leaving room for a luxurious master suite. The upstairs loft includes two individual bed and bath suites, providing ample room for guests. Native materials were used in construction, including a metal roof and local timber.

This home was laid out so that the garage is entered at the side of the house. As you approach the home, the arms bring you to the front entry, inviting you in. Stucco highlights the mostly stone exterior.

Since this home has a wonderful view, a garden terrace was created in the front of the home. The interior can be extended outwards because of the multiple French doors.

The style of your custom home can be personalized to suit you. This unique style has a roofline which is similar to a French Second Empire style, while the porch adds the shade of a southern veranda. The unique door frame adds its own statement.
