With an affinity for mid-century modern architecture the clients for the Stono River Residence introduced us to their goals for a new house that would sit on the banks of the Stono River. The resulting design is a study of solid planes contrasting with light and transparency. The main living spaces for the couple are arranged on the ground floor with guest rooms above the garage wing for privacy. Materials include stucco for main organizing walls, cementitious siding and cypress soffits and lattice privacy walls.
