Lowcountry House Plans
The “Lowcountry” regions of the South especially the Carolinas and Georgia create special architectural challenges due to their swampy environment, high water tables, excessive wet weather and humidity. Lowcountry homes typically are placed on raised foundations and feature broad hipped roofs that extend over deep covered front porches. Many of these homes also feature decorative roof dormers. Although Lowcountry homes may appear to have a slightly formal feel on the exterior due to their use of large windows, French doors, transoms and broad front steps, upon entering these homes you will immediately feel the warmth and inviting style they emit. They typically have a relaxed and casual feel that mirrors the warm personalities of those who live in these regions of the country. |
