Lowcountry — style reimagining

Style

Lowcountry

Inspired by Historical Concepts / Beau Clowney Architects· no affiliation

Charleston-Savannah-Hilton-Head lineage — raised foundation, deep porches, painted siding, tin roofs.

• Raised foundation (24-36 inches above grade) — substantial brick or stone piers, structural and visible.
• Deep wraparound porch — full-elevation length, white-painted floor and ceiling.
• Classical Doric or Tuscan porch columns — substantial proportion, white-painted.
• Horizontal painted-white tongue-and-groove siding — boards parallel to ground.

Scope

Light remodel

New paint, siding, roof, and finishes — the structure stays put.

Replace the exterior materials in the chosen style while keeping every structural element exactly. Best for solid bones with dated finishes. This is what most renovations call 'a refresh.'

Typical cost

$150K–400K
