This iconic 1830s “Charleston single” house in downtown Charleston underwent a two-year renovation. Originally featuring two main rooms, a centre hallway, an attic with dormers and fireplaces in every room, a double-tiered piazza shades the western side with an addition to the rear. Modern updates blend with history through custom tiles, William Morris wallpaper and antiques, creating a comfortable, stylish home for the family. Pitt Street, Charleston, SC by Project Basics.

Organic evolution

Posted on Mon, 29 Jul 2024 by midcenturyjo

The Atwater House by Design, Bitches has evolved with its family over 20 years. Once a 500 sq.ft. near-teardown it now features an office, pool house, living room, and bedroom with a green roof. The original structure was replaced with a kitchen/dining area and bedrooms for the children. Custom finishes include oak, walnut, concrete tiles, and steel skylights. Natural light, insulation, and strategic tree planting minimize the need for artificial lighting, heating and cooling.

The Drip-Dry house by Sydney-based architectural firm Marker embodies a philosophy of simplicity and togetherness. Designed for inter-generational living, it focuses on essential living experiences and nurturing relationships. Near the beach, the house features concrete floors and low-maintenance landscaping for easy upkeep. The double-height living space includes a versatile, budget-friendly commercial kitchen. The layout is efficient, with the main house consisting of two connected boxes: one for bedrooms and bathrooms, the other for communal living spaces. Decks on both sides provide all-day indoor/outdoor living, while an outbuilding accommodates guests or remote work.
