Bluffton, SC Custom Homes
The Westbrook
The Westbrook began as a builder's model home, but quickly transformed into a one-of-a-kind design tailored specifically for a young family looking to create their dream home. The clients purchased the property while the house was still in the framing stage, offering a unique opportunity to reimagine the space and personalize every detail to suit their lifestyle and aesthetic preferences.
From the layout to the finishes, the design journey was one of collaboration, allowing the family to bring their vision to life.
What resulted is a stunning blend of two seemingly contrasting styles — the timeless charm of Lowcountry design combined with the clean, minimalist elegance of Scandinavian influences. The final product is a home that reflects vision of creating two homes on the same property — a spacious main residence for their family, and a custom-designed mother-in-law cottage that would allow for independent living, while still fostering connection.
The design needed to balance two very different living needs: the main residence was to be spacious and open, ideal for the growing family, while the mother-in-law cottage required a cozy, self-sufficient space that could still feel integrated with the family’s aesthetic and lifestyle.
The result is a seamless combination of two distinct homes, each with its own charm but linked through a cohesive design language that honors the classic Lowcountry architecture. Both homes feature expansive, open living areas, gorgeous kitchen spaces, and plenty of connection to the outdoors — essential for enjoying the coastal climate.
