U
nique pieces of property require unique
solutions. Such is the case with a wedge
shaped lot on a sought-after lake in
South Carolina. Tis "grandfathered"
structure is close to the water with views on three
sides. Chapman Design Group Inc. of Anderson,
S.C., worked with the client to create a much larger
main house while ensuring the viability of the at-
tached guest suite. Te solution was to demolish
the entire existing main house and to keep the
existing 1,100-sq.-ft. guest quarters. From there
they would bulld a new 2,800-sq.-ft.
main house that is connected to the
guest suite.
Te 2015 Master Design Award
judges deemed this the best in its
Whole House category, but also the
best of all projects over $300,000
in price for many reasons. First, it
met all of its primary goals. Tey
were able to achieve the goal of cre-
ating lake views from every room in
the home. Second, they were able to incorporate
a design theme that played out in many ways
throughout the structure. Finally, they were truly
able to make the most of the unique property, in-
cluding a 20- by 20-ft. octagon deck that reaches
out farther toward the water.
Te judges were particularly impressed that
each of the home's three large gables were entirely
occupied by diamond-shaped, six piece windows.
Tat diamond theme was repeated in the light
on the front door of the home.
