Hilton Head Haven


We've been talking commercial design for quite a while now, so I think it's time to see where the residential project is going.  My newest clients are a couple in their fifties, recently empty-nesters, with dog, and looking to build a new home in a relaxed coastal community.  Their ideal location will include bringing travel and the outdoors in and have ample space for entertaining.  They have a passion for traveling and immersing themselves in the history and culture of each location they travel to.  They have decided to settle and make their home in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, a city that is known for its rich history, casual atmosphere, and its many outdoor activities.  The natural lifestyle of the island will fit perfectly with Mr. and Mrs. Anderson, by providing them a home that embraces their love for the outdoors and will give them a peaceful and relaxing respite in between their travels.  Their design style is Traditional, but they welcome a light mix of contemporary pieces that will provide them with a light and airy feel.  They also wish to incorporate some of their existing furnishings, such as a pair of favorite wing chairs and also some of their travel finds into the design.  One favorite to include would be their collection of lanterns that they have gathered over their years of travel.

Our design solution includes taking into consideration their design style of traditional, but with a bit of flair.  They are open to incorporating a few contemporary accessories and lighting, which will lend itself to a transitional design.  Another aspect of this project is to enter the Lazzaro Leather "Places and Spaces" competition, so we'll be sure to incorporate plenty of their products. Let's look at our color palette and a few inspiration pictures to get started!
