This is a year round home for repeat clients in Charleston, South Carolina. The home sits on a beautiful creek and has convenient boat ramp access. The house is conceived as a adaptation of a Coast Guard outpost that evolved into an home. The owner, a former Navy man, totally embraced the concept. The building itself is well suited to its' site. The openings to the west are limited and well shaded. The views to the marsh from the back of the house are organized around a massive screened in porch that is out of the heat and shielded from neighbors. This room is proportioned to accommodate generous seating and dining furniture and is the center of family life for the owners.
