Nestled for privacy among twisting oaks and fragrant pines, this family home on Tybee Island’s Back River was conceived as a platform from which to experience the changing qualities of coastal light and take advantage of view of the marsh and Atlantic Ocean beyond. The house is organized in a simple ‘T’ plan to create a formal entry court to the north and private poolside court to the south with access to its deep-water dock. The house’s steel and wood structure is elevated above the ground to create a shaded breezeway for family gatherings and sheathed in durable, low-maintenance materials including fiber-cement panels, natural cedar, and tern-coated stainless steel. On the interior, expansive views and generous daylight combine with Brazilian cherry floors and beech-wood cabinetry and paneling to create a warm, contemporary home suited perfectly for life on the water.
