We live in a beautiful region where we are surrounded by blue skies, lush vegetation, and tropical breezes. However, with all this natural beauty comes bugs… and lots of them. Why not surround yourself with the beauty of the Lowcountry without having to deal with those pesky bugs and slithering intruders. Consider adding a screen room or screened enclosure to your home so you can enjoy your yard all year long!

Traditional design blends well with 21st century accessibility standards. Designed by architect Jeremiah Battles of Acacia Architects and built by Ben Quie & Sons, this beautiful new home features details found a century ago, combined with a creative use of space and technology to meet the owner’s mobility needs. Even the elevator is detailed with quarter-sawn oak paneling. Feeling as though it has been here for generations, this home combines architectural salvage with creative design. The owner brought in vintage lighting fixtures, a Tudor fireplace surround, and beveled glass for windows and doors. The kitchen pendants and sconces were custom made to match a 1912 Sheffield fixture she had found. Quarter-sawn oak in the living room, dining room, and kitchen, and flat-sawn oak in the pantry, den, and powder room accent the traditional feel of this brand-new home.
