Limestone Courtyard Home

This Sea Island courtyard home sets rough-cut limestone piers and walls against smooth stucco, with carved rafter tails beneath a clay tile roof. The contrast of rough and smooth, heavy and fine, gives it the weight of old masonry and the look of a house built slowly, by hand, and meant to stay.

THE MOTOR COURT

Olive and citrus trees shade a gravel motor court, giving the arrival the feel of a Mediterranean farmhouse.

THE WINDOWS

Quatrefoil windows pierce the stone and stucco walls, small carved openings that bring patterned light into the rooms.
