THE DAUFUSKIE

THE INSPIRATION

Off the coast of South Carolina, across the Calibogue Sound, adventurous travelers will find the eight square miles of land that make up Daufuskie Island. Untethered to the mainland by bridges or roads, the island can only be reached by boat. The island is covered in Spanish moss draped forests, inhabited by rare and beautiful fauna.  In developing this plan set concept we focused on the simple but magnificent architecture of old Southern coastal churches, like First Union African Baptist Church, Daufuskie Island's oldest building. We wanted to capture the simplicity of the primary mass and layering of secondary masses typical of these structures as well as the organization of public and private space observed in traditional spiritual architecture.We wanted it to feel like a place where Delta Blues on old vinyl is always playing in the background; where you drink iced tea by day and whiskey by night; where you're always barefoot so you feel the difference between sun and shadow on the floors; where the songs of crickets and katydids serve as the backdrop for evening conversations with drop-by company. It is a place to enjoy Lowcountry Boil with friends; a place to read and write; a place where you appreciate the heck out of a ceiling fan; a place to revel in the elusive state of boredom that breeds curiosity and forces you to notice the bird in a nearby tree, the garden snake on the patio, the fireflies at dusk.
