Southern Living, In Style

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Southern Colonial or low country homes are what you will find in the <a href="http://www.palmettobluff.com/designreview.aspx">Palmetto Bluff</a> community in Bluffton South Carolina. With distinct design features, these homes preserve the historical style that is found in this southern community. Commonly, Low Country homes are built with indigenous materials and decorated with neutral tones to create a seamless transition from the peaceful surrounding nature to the interiors of the low country homes. This style of home can be found in Virginia, Louisiana, the Carolinas and parts of Georgia.  </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Common Features found in Low Country style homes:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div><ul><li>Steeply pitched roofs</li><li>Multipane, tall, double-hung windows</li><li>Wide, Welcoming front porch</li><li>Tall foundation walls to protect against moisture damage</li><li>Large columns lining the front entry</li></ul><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We have had an opportunity to design homes for the prestigious Palmetto Bluff community.
