Low Country Shingle Style

Low Country Shingle Style

Nestled within the dense maritime flora of secluded Terrapin Island on Kiawah Island, South Carolina, this 7,000-square-foot shingle-style residence spans a rare double lot. Designed with a one-room-deep linear plan, the home is carefully oriented to the landscape, capturing sweeping 180-degree views of the marshlands. The owners live primarily on the first floor, where an adaptable layout employs pocket doors to create a sense of openness and visual continuity between rooms. Anchoring the home is a cathedral-ceilinged great room that serves as its central gathering space, while expansive rear decks extend the living areas outdoors, overlooking the marsh beyond.
