Designing houses is what we do. We were trained to design houses. We do it every day, and we are good at it. It can be challenging, but it is always fun. We also know how to listen. We understand that this process energizes some potential homeowners; others are paralyzed by the process. Designing and building a house is not something you do every day. For most people, it is something you will do once or twice in a lifetime. We want to make it as easy and enjoyable as possible. With this is mind, we came up with the idea of an architectural reference book.
We are not thinking of this book as an "I would-like-one-of-these" or "I would like one-of-those" catalog of houses. Rather, we see this book as a primer on Lowcountry architecture that presents examples of proper scale, proportion, details, shapes, lines, and spaces.
This plan book is a starting point for you to begin putting together the types of spaces and rooms that best suit your needs and desires. Think of it as a collection of references to help you get started on your perfect house. So, get out your pencil and have at it. Be creative and have some fun. And remember it's going to be your home. We said earlier that we want to be able to bring successful architecture to more people. It is through this book that we intend to begin the process. If the house you have been hoping for is in this book, we will get you the plans. If the perfect house for you is one of ours with some changes here and there, we will be happy to get them done. If after looking at all these plans, you would like us to design a custom house for you from the ground up-we would love to help. Or, if all you want to do is call, say hello and ask a question or two, that will be fine too. We love architecture and we love talking to people about architecture. We hope you enjoy the book and look forward to hearing from you.
