The Seven Sisters Residence on St. Helena Island. 

Seven Sisters rests lightly on the edge of the coastal marsh and is built on 14 foot pilings to protect against flooding. With a large southern overhang, the house is designed to maximize solar orientation and remain naturally ventilated 9 months of the year. Half of the square footage is open-air living area, most of which is protected from cold North winds by a sliding door.

The cypress rain screen and reclaimed heart pine floors were felled and milled within 50 miles of the site. The home operates on a whole-house tankless water heater and a mini split HVAC system is used to condition the interior space during peak hot and cold weather.
