Inspired by the architecture found in historic towns throughout the county, the homes of Habersham are designed with a sense of permanence. Classical detailing and proportion define this timeless architecture. One's eyes are naturally drawn to traditional architectural elements because their shapes and forms just look better. The most critical design criteria of all Habersham homes are proper scale and proportion. This vertical sense of scale can be seen in the windows, doors and porches of all our homes. Designed with proper scale, the front porch is not only aesthetically pleasing but serves as the cornerstone in the creation of the public realm. Front porches within conversational distance to sidewalks serve as a social magnet and define the street.
The choice of materials, textures, and colors, is among the most important decisions in establishing the character of any home. The use of indigenous materials that age well are incorporated in all the home designs. With this mix of quality design, proportion, and indigenous materials, the homes of Habersham embrace a sense of southern elegance that can only be found in the Lowcountry.
