Contemporary Dogtrot

Contemporary. Resilient. Energy Efficient.

This riff on the much-loved southern dogtrot began with our Close to Custom Camellia Plan. We modified the side entry, the primary and guest suites, and added an enviable garage. We collaborated closely with our clients on the interior spaces to really showcase the many antiques the Gardners—a pilot and flight attendant—have collected during their travels.

Contemporary Comfort

The house is on a high, wooded lot overlooking Battery Creek to the east. In true dogtrot form, the house is sited to capture the breezes off the water. The 2300 square foot house lives large with an open, airy great room.

Interior Design

We detailed the interior to be clean and modern, creating a fresh palette for their antiques. Jane worked with the Gardners to edit their existing collections to give their new home all the perfect final touches. In the primary suite, classic C.W. Stockwell Martinique wallpaper and drapery fabric brings the outside in.
