Coastal Living announces that its popular annual Idea House is located in the Habersham community in Beaufort, South Carolina, a Coastal Living and Southern Living-inspired community. This year’s home is open for public tours July 5 through October 28. It will also be featured in the September issue of Coastal Living magazine, available on newsstands August 10. There is a $15 entrance fee and tickets can be purchased at coastalliving.com/ideahouse or at the Habersham Sales office, 22 Market Beaufort, SC 29906. A portion of proceeds benefit The Boys and Girls Club of Northern Beaufort County.
The 2018 Idea House features interiors by celebrated designer Jenny Keenan and is built by Allen Patterson Builders. The architecture for the project is designed by Eric Moser of Moser Design Group. The landscape architect is M. Brock Designs, LLC. The marsh front home showcases modern design trends and innovations while relying on classic coastal elements to maintain a timeless look. Keenan is known for her deft touch with color, pattern and texture and for her use of organic elements that make interiors feel casual and relaxed. Throughout the house, the architecture and building teams’ commitment to light-filled spaces keeps the focus on the lush marsh views. The finished house plans (Coastal Living Cottage Plan Number 1986) will be available for purchase online at www.coastallivinghouseplans.com/plans/SL1986.
The Builder
Part of the Southern Living Custom Builder Program, Allen Patterson Builders built this year’s Idea House. Tracing its roots in the Beaufort, South Carolina, area back to the early 19th century, the Patterson family focuses on tradition and quality workmanship, while incorporating the latest in technology and tools. Southern Living recognized Patterson’s Midtown redevelopment neighborhood in downtown Beaufort as its 2013 Home Awards’ “Community Development of the Year.”
