BEST IN SOUTH ATLANTIC REGION

Located on Wadmalaw Island, this one-story home takes advantage of views and breezes from every room. The kitchen, dining and living room are linearly oriented for this exact purpose. The volume within these rooms allowed for intricate detailed columns, coffered ceilings and a shallow barrel vault. The architect used traditional materials such as a copper roof; tumbled brick for the foundation piers, landscaping walls and chimney; and mahogany exterior doors. Wide porches, a gable-end roof and exposed rafter tails add to the rustic cottage design.
