Outdoor Living Areas We Love

Green Acres - This property’s sprawling backyard includes a bluff-top fire pit—the perfect platform for enjoying sweeping vistas of Charleston Harbor. Other amenities include a putting green, an in-ground trampoline, and the grandparents’ swimming pool just next door.

Elevated Entertaining - Dufford Young Architects nested an elevated deck of garapa and a zero-edge pool into the house, creating the family’s entertaining headquarters. A slatted wall offers privacy while allowing breezes to flow through the dining area with a large reclaimed wood table crafted by Landrum Tables.
