Portfolio/Sullivan's Island

Crafted on the Cove

The Project

A creek-front home reached across the marsh boardwalk

What began as a beachside getaway on Sullivan's Island became a full-time home for a young family.

The renovation went down to the studs, transforming a cherished vacation cottage into a permanent residence. The goal was to honor the character of the original retreat while rebuilding it for year-round living.

Inside, the spaces were reworked to keep up with three young kids and the pace of everyday family life, without losing the easy, relaxed feel of a home at the beach.

The result is a home built for real life on the island, and for years of everyday memories to come.
