For a couple who wanted to relocate to a new custom home on Kiawah Island, Camens Architectural Group brought their vision to life with an architectural design that truly embodies timeless beauty.

This stunning home, situated on a serene slice of land, blends classic design with warmth and livability and it’s a true reflection of its owners’ personalities and lifestyle.

Camens’ Timeless, Yet Distinctive Approach

Kiawah Island Architect Marc Camens created a home that feels both refined and deeply personal, combining the couple’s northeast background with the relaxed charm of the coastal south.

Upon entry, the floor plan moves from the foyer into the living room, dining area, and kitchen. Each room is well-delineated yet still remains seamlessly connected – thanks to Camens’ use of remarkable ceiling details. The ceiling plane plays an integral role in defining the transition between spaces.

For example, in the living room, a beautiful barrel ceiling makes a statement and is distinctly different from the coffered ceiling in the dining room. These subtle yet significant shifts are signature to Camens’ work and the simultaneous separation and flow – both spatially and visually – adds to the home’s classic appeal.

Integrating the Interior and Exterior in Architectural Design

True to Camens’ core architectural principles, the link between indoors and outdoors is effortless in this home. Expansive windows –  each one strategically and thoughtfully placed for maximum impact – draw in natural light and perfectly frame the breathtaking views, enhancing the home’s welcoming connection to nature.

The porch and terrace as well as the pool also extend the living space outward. Whether the owners are entertaining guests or enjoying a quiet morning with coffee in hand, these outdoor areas are well-suited for soaking in the surrounding natural beauty of Kiawah Island.

The Role of Key Material Selections

Working with CAMEN’s team of Kiawah Island Architects, the home’s exterior features a blend of stone, wood, and stucco, giving the architecture a classic yet current presence. Inside, the timeless finishes elevate the sense of refined craftsmanship.

Every detail — from the material textures to the interplay of light and shadow — has been designed to evoke a sense of sophistication without ostentation. “I think of this home as delivering an understated ‘wow’ factor,” says Camens. “It ends up being quite impressive with every element chosen for its beauty and longevity.”

A Testament to Thoughtful Design

Camens’ signature approach to architectural design is deeply rooted in how people interact with their spaces. This home embodies this principle; it wraps around the people who live within its walls and offers a balance of openness yet intimacy, grandeur yet warmth.

Timeless and refined, this Kiawah Island retreat stands as another quintessential example of Camens’ ability to craft spaces that are not only beautiful but truly livable. It is, in every sense, a timeless beauty.
