Based in Beaufort, the firm focuses on regional vernacular architecture that respects local climate conditions and historical context. Their design philosophy emphasizes site-specific solutions that utilize natural light, cross-ventilation, and durable materials to enhance longevity. Each project reflects a commitment to sustainable building practices and high-performance standards tailored for the humid subtropical environment. The team works closely with clients to develop custom homes that balance traditional aesthetics with modern functional requirements.

Environmental mission and strategy (ESG)
We design high performance houses that use less energy and conserve water. We carefully place our buildings to minimize the impact to the site by saving trees and controlling the stormwater runoff. We are always working to reduce the embodied carbon of building materials. Our houses are designed to mitigate the effects of hurricane force winds, floods, and lightning. We are participants in the AIA’s 2030 Commitment which is a strategy that gives goals for reaching net zero carbon emission in buildings.
