With architecture by T.S. Adams Studio, Architects and interiors by Douglas Herrin Inc, this Georgian home is located in the Frederica Township community on St. Simons. At 2 acres, this lakefront property is scattered with a mixture of planted pines and stately Live Oaks at the water’s edge. The finished floor was elevated 30” above grade due to a base flood elevation. The homeowners wanted a symmetrical house, sympathetic to the environment and location. They also wanted it to respond to how they lived: not too formal and not too casual. The house has 6,222 sf of heated space with the day-to-day spaces on the ground floor and secondary bedrooms upstairs. Strong axial relationships between spaces and views to the lake are utilized throughout. Natural light and openness is a prominent theme as well. Ultimately, their design was a celebration of natural materials, paying tribute to the ageless beauty of the deep-south architecture that defines the region.
Georgian Home Design Ideas
The house incorporates many natural and reclaimed materials. The symmetrical main body of the house is a 1.5 story element with historical dormers bringing light into the upstairs bedrooms. Reclaimed brick and a buff mortar give a statement of authenticity. Lying in a flood plain, the house is raised 30” above grade, giving it a certain prominence among the pines and live oaks. Single-story wings flank the main body of the house to create a visually balanced elevation, while also mimicking older homes with their numerous additions over the years. The wings transition to cedar lap siding and copper roofs, materials reflective of the deep-south architecture.
