Beach Residence
Sullivan's Island, SC, United States
In an insufferable climate such as often affects the Lowcountry, reprieve from the rigors of heat, humidity and wind is a natural inclination that is most often mitigated by mechanical buffers. This results in a body removal from the landscape and a cultural distancing which begs the question: where are we – here or there?
The beach house is a replacement for the original Jim Walter® home destroyed by Hurricane Hugo. Located on a well populated barrier island, the design breaks from prevailing beach house typologies and finds it’s grounding in other ways. Formerly a military reservation, the site is directly in front of two earthen ammunition bunkers built during WWII. These sentinels have presided over the island for years. The house continues this protective posture by drawing cover over itself to shroud the house from the vagaries of the coastal clime and resides near the edge of the beach providing both a reprieve from and connection to the water beyond.
