Carry the fun outside right from the living area and out onto the cathedral covered deck. With plenty of seating and a fireplace, it's easy to cozy up and watch your favorite movie outdoors. Head downstairs to even more space with a grilling area and fire pit. The areas to entertain are endless.

This is the entry façade of an oceanfront house on Kiawah Island. It has a gracious front porch adorned with the quintessential porch furniture: rocking chairs. The porch ceiling is natural stained beaded board, the shutters are operable wood, the siding is cedar shingles stained on all 6 sides, the brick is old brick, and the roof is heavy Vermont slate.

Working with an award winning home design firm, this home was conceptualized and planned out with the utmost in attention to detail. Unique architectural elements abound, with the most prominent being the curved window set with extended roof overhang that looks a bit like a watch tower. Painting that feature a dark color, ensured that it remained noticeable without overtaking the front facade. Extensive cedar was used to add a bit of rustic charm to the home, and warm up the exterior. All cedar is stained in Benjamin Moore Hidden Valley. If you look at each side of the highest gable, you will see two cedar beams flaring out. This was such a small detail, but well worth the cost for a crane and many men to lift and secure them in place at 30 feet in height. Many have asked the guys at Pike what the style of this home is, and neither them nor the architects have a set answer. Pike Properties feels it blends many architectural styles into one unique home. If we had to call it something though, it would be Modern English Country.

A uniform and cohesive look adds simplicity to the overall aesthetic, supporting the minimalist design. The A5s is Glo’s slimmest profile, allowing for more glass, less frame, and wider sightlines. The concealed hinge creates a clean interior look while also providing a more energy-efficient air-tight window. The increased performance is also seen in the triple pane glazing used in both series. The windows and doors alike provide a larger continuous thermal break, multiple air seals, high-performance spacers, Low-E glass, and argon filled glazing, with U-values as low as 0.20. Energy efficiency and effortless minimalism create a breathtaking Scandinavian-style remodel.

The well proportioned rear elevation has a real sense of depth, so much more interesting than a wall with windows. Photos by Square Foot Media
