Lowcountry home design for this cottage home was designed for a very small cottage property in Moss Creek, Hilton Head, South Carolina. It was created by Myles Nelson McKenzie Design.
The Lowcountry area of South Carolina has so much to offer for a laid-back, casual lifestyle. Because of this, we designed a medium-sized custom home for a property in the gated community of Moss Creek. Which is located in Hilton Head, South Carolina.
Cottage home features of the Lowcountry home design
The size of this Lowcountry custom home design we developed is 1940 square feet. It has high vaulted ceilings throughout the house with 10-foot tall walls. The doors throughout the residence are 8 feet tall.
Any traditional Southern home must have a front porch to sit on and enjoy a moment of peace with a glass of sweet tea or the beverage of choice. Because of this popular tradition, we designed our home with a very large front porch. The French doors from the dining room open to the screened-in porch. This space allows one to enjoy the outdoors without worrying about bugs during the summer months. The front open porch is accessible from the screened-in porch and the living room.
The custom home design was developed with a large open plan consisting of the front entry, the living room, the dining room, and the kitchen spaces. The chef-style kitchen has a large preparation island in the middle. Off to the rear side of the kitchen and next to the open deck is a large screen-in porch with a vaulted hard roof. The laundry room is off the rear entrance, which serves the home.
For the second floor level, our Lowcountry home design has two good-sized bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and an open staircase space to the lower floor. The second-floor ceiling is vaulted to create an additional sense of character and space.
