This new, custom 5,500-square-foot home on Kiawah Island, South Carolina, was designed as a retirement retreat for longtime clients who wanted a space that felt both relaxed and refined. Interior designer Tracy Morris delivered a sophisticated, yet livable abode without any of the coastal clichés. Expansive windows frame the natural beauty of the Lowcountry, while the furniture plan encourages movement between indoor and outdoor spaces. Performance fabrics and natural textures, such as wood, linen and stone, instill a sense of ease and timelessness.

Architecture: McDonald Architects. Interior Design: Tracy Morris, principal; Maha Hartary, senior designer, Tracy Morris Design. Builder: Mangan Inc.

“Consistent paneling and wood paired with a neutral palette make this the ultimate retreat.”
Marika Meyer, jurist
