May Construction
Spring Island
This house (and its owners) are special to us. While its not uncommon for us to revisit a Frederick + Frederick house to renovate or add-on, we don’t typically get the opportunity for so many projects at the same house. This house was built around 2000, then we built the guitar & quilting studio and a courtyard for new owners (photos of that project are here). We won an honor award from AIASC for this phase of the project.
Then we did a bathroom renovation and modified the gable end in the front of the house. Now we are renovating the kitchen, pantry and downstairs bedroom. Demo is complete and framing is underway!
Cane Island
Siding is mostly complete, decking and window trim are being installed. The house on Cane Island is looking great!
Brays Island
This big renovation project is nearing completion. It is a really unique project and we can’t wait to see the final product soon!
OTB- September
We’ve presented preliminary designs to a few clients recently. The first two are new houses, and the third is a renovation.
This house is in Summerville, South Carolina. The client requested a modest sized house that is exceptionally strong. We are designing it to withstand 200 mph winds. The windows are protected by sliding shutters made of corten steel.
Next is this cottage, on Harbor Island. This is an upside down house- the main living areas are on the top floor and the bedrooms are on the first floor. This enables the owner to enjoy the best views from the areas where they will be spending the most time. The lot has the beach on one side and the marsh one the other, so the views from this top floor are going to be incredible.
This small house is on a beautiful piece of property on Wadmalaw Island, in Charleston County. Our proposed design increases the area on the first floor by moving the exterior walls to the edge of an existing wrap-around deck. A dormer is added to increase space and light available in the loft. A swimming pool is added, along with a carport and a plan for a future guest house. A perfectly relaxing retreat!
