Charleston Southern — style reimagining

Style

Charleston Southern

Inspired by Glenn Keyes Architects, Bevan & Liberatos· no affiliation

Side-facing piazza, tinted limewash stucco, joggling-board, walled garden — historic Charleston / Savannah vernacular.

• Tall narrow rectangular plan, gable end facing the street (one room wide).
• Two- or three-story side-facing porch (piazza) running the length of the long side.
• Limewashed stucco or soft brick in tinted color — peach, butter yellow, sage, dusty pink.
• Tall narrow shuttered windows with full-height operable louvered shutters.

Scope

Light remodel

New paint, siding, roof, and finishes — the structure stays put.

Replace the exterior materials in the chosen style while keeping every structural element exactly. Best for solid bones with dated finishes. This is what most renovations call 'a refresh.'

Typical cost

$150K–400K
