Town Founders

As Newpoint neared completion, Bob managed the partnership of Village Renaissance Inc. to develop an in-fill site for the Town of Port Royal. As featured in "Architecture," "Builder" magazines, the Village at Port Royal functions as an excellent example of how a Traditional Neighborhood can support the needs of a diverse market with multiple uses. In 1996, The Congress for New Urbanism selected the Village at Port Royal and town of Port Royal's master plan as one of the top Ten Traditional Neighborhood designs in the country.

Stephen Davis has developed several projects in the Greenwood area and commercial projects in Charleston.

Through Stephen's environmental knowledge, the design of Habersham blends technological advances and natural environmental design to create a plan where man and nature can co-exist with minimal impact to the surrounding environment.

Bob's and Stephen's combined experience, their conviction to create a special place that every resident will be proud to call home and their patience to deliver the vision will make Habersham a wonderful place to live.

Duany Plater-Zyberk & Co. - Town Planners
In 1980 Andres Duany and Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk opened a practice in the city of Miami.

Because of this they believe a designer's decision will permeate the lives of residents; not just visually but in the way residents live. They believe that design structures form relationships, quantitatively and qualitatively, and that it is a sophisticated tool whose power exceeds its cosmic attributes.

Whether it is a small cottage, urban townhouse or large estate, the design teams at Historical Concepts begin each custom project by carefully studying both the site and the local architectural precedent to craft a home that respects and complements its surroundings. We meticulously weave the exterior and interior of each home until all elements work in concert, resulting in facades that are pleasing from each vantage point and floor plans that reflect the client's unique lifestyle. To complete the design, we thoroughly detail the construction documents, paying careful attention to every interior space and exterior element of the home. This level of detail creates value by reducing the need for interpretation during construction and ensuring the design is well executed.

Once the design is complete, we further serve our clients through an array of Construction Phase services. We can solicit competitive bids from qualified contractors and assist in identifying a builder that is best for the project. Furthermore, we can also consult with the builder and conduct site visits throughout the construction process to ensure the highest levels of quality and client satisfaction.
