While traveling on a mission trip in the Dominican Republic, I became close with my local translator. We spent hours talking about our cultures, and our communities. The translator, who has grown up living in a very poor barrio called La Vega spoke about his visit to Buffalo, NY one summer. He stated that it was clean and beautiful. This is a stark contrast to their small patched and attached homes, where sewage ran in the streets, and villagers would help sweep water out of each other’s homes after a good rain. While in Buffalo, he mentioned that he would walk through the neighborhoods and the town parks and asked me why there weren’t kids on the playgrounds or in the parks. He asked why the neighbors in the Buffalo neighborhood didn’t get together for gatherings or rarely spoke to each other. He didn’t sense a feeling of community or connection and didn’t understand this disconnected community culture. In La Vega, they have nothing. They’re very poor, but rich beyond measure in their connection to community, their families, neighbors, friends, and even strangers.
This experience was a huge influence on the vision of Stewrt Landing. We spent well over a year exploring concepts and working with industry leading experts from all over the southeast to design a one-of-a-kind, meticulously planned community that leverages the natural beauty of the land, and nestles community amenities throughout the 45 acres of community greenspace to connect and gather together to fulfill heir dreams of living in a waterfront community. This very special land itself gave us the perfect canvas to build on our vision grounded in lifestyle, building memories, and offering a connection to the community and to the residents that call Stewart Landing home.

Stewart Landing is a state-of-the-art, master planned community with a desire to foster a sense of community within the lake living lifestyle. Located on Lake Murray in Prosperity, SC with high quality amenities and environmental protections, the lots are designed to promote interaction between owners while giving privacy with either lakefront or vast wooded open spaces to each owner’s backyard.
The developer has teamed with highly regarded architectural and landscape architectural firms to create a master planned community that promotes architectural continuity, protection of sight lines to the lake and open spaces, and marries the residential architectural design while leveraging the natural setting of the 200 pristine community acres.
For well over a year, the partnering firms have pushed every limit to ensure that the final product brought to the market resonates resort style living with
one-of-a-kind amenities nestled along over 45 acres of community green space, while creating value in membership and ownership for its community members. The result is a lowcountry coastal lifestyle community in the heart of “the Jewel of South Carolina”, Lake Murray. A playground for adults and kids alike. A place to call home, to build memories with family and friends, a refuge to unwind and reconnect.
“What a joy it has been for our design team to work on such a dynamic development where nature provides such a beautiful backdrop for the architecture. Each natural viewshed adds a different color pallet to embrace and enjoy.”
-Bill Hume, AIA, NCARB President, Interactive Design GroupStewart Landing is a 200-acre meticulously-planned waterfront community located on Newberry County’s Lake Murray. Lake access lots include a boat slip in the 110-slip marina. Lakefront lots with easy build homesites feature breathtaking water views with a gentle slope to the water and include top-ofthe-line dock systems with lift, dock boxes, and finger floa. Beautiful 1.5 - 8 acre mature, wooded estate lake lots allow property owners to retreat to their large acreage private oasis. All property owners share easy access to connect to the entire community by utilizing paved roads and miles of walking trails and golf cart accessible pathways to the one-of-a-kind lake amenities that span throughout 45 acres of community greenspace, including:
•Circa 1842, fully-renovated clubhouse (“The Stewart House”)
•State-of-the-art interactive smart gym with outdoor activity lawn
•110-slip marina with water and power
•Walking/fishing pie
•Private community boat ramp
•Private community boat storage
•Activity center
•Pet park & children’s playground
•Large group firepit with Adirondack chair
•Golf cart, day use boat trailer & automobile parking
Aptly named “The Jewel of South Carolina”, Lake Murray spans approximately 50,000 acres with 650 miles of shoreline. Stewart Landing includes boat ramp and day dock access with ability to own a boat slip at its 110-boat slip marina. The property is primarily woodland and more than half will be protected in open space. Properties along the lake frontage will be buffered by a non-disturbed strip of protected woodlands. The remaining off water lots will abut forest land. In an effort to re-establish a natural setting, installation of grass land and trees along the roadways will help blend the disturbed areas to the non-disturbed protected woodlands.
The property topography is moderate to nearly flat along the hores of Lake Murray. The proposed development has minimized disturbance by attempting to maintain existing grades where practical. These conditions have protected the land’s shape and drainage patterns in an effort to protect the land from being clear cut and mass graded for home construction.
The community will take pride in the amenities best suited for property owners to be active and share a multitude of common spaces so an owner will be able to congregate with neighbors, exercise, or relax at their leisure.

It’s not just the place you’ll call home but where you’ll long to be.The simple one-room cottages that originated in the 1700s have evolved into comfortable, elegant, practical, and spacious homes whose architectural design has been adapted to the climate of the American South—from South Carolina to Georgia, Florida, and surrounding states. The key characteristics of Lowcountry style homes are:
Raised First Floor
Covered Wraparound Porch/ Screened Porches/Verandas
Large Double Hung
Transoms
The first permanent settlement in South Carolina was established by the British in 1670. These homes were constructed as modest one-room cottages that were inspired by English homes. These types of homes were also utilized in the tidewater regions of Virginia and Maryland. Small cottage house plans are still popular in these regions. Colonists from France, the Netherlands, Germany, and other European countries settled in Charleston and other parts of the state throughout the late 1600s and early 1700s. They also brought with them architectural ideas from their native lands.
The hot and humid conditions in the Lowcountry, along with the lack of building materials, required that modifications be made to their smple home designs.
Early modifications that were made include the construcion of homes on piers or above crawlspaces to avoid coastal flooding and to allow air o circulate underneath the structures. Other changes that the settlers made were the installation of large double-hung windows and wide wraparound porches that “faced south, shading the interior from the blistering summer sun during the day.”
High ceilings inside the homes also contributed to the air ow.
• Portions of the house closest to the street or primary façade should be vertical in proportion
• Primary story takes precedence and receives the tallest ceilings, windows, and columns as well as the most ornate features
• Attic, basement stories, and porches are shorter and secondary and receive simpler treatments
• Most homes are 1 1/2 - 2 story homes
• 8’ minimum porch depth or greater
• Column height to match height of adjacent ceiling height
• Proportion between handrail and frieze to be more vertical than square
• Ideal orientation of the porch should face south or southwest
• Column, post, and pier proportions to be sub stantial and appropriate column, post, and pier proportions to be substantial and appropriate
MATERIALS
• Standard size brick masonry in Common, Flemish, and English bond are acceptable materials
• Stucco over masonry with scored joints is primarily reserved for front façades
• Traditional siding styles to include clapboard, beaded, and shingle style
• Roof styles include: gabled, hipped, Jerkin-Head, Gambrel, and Mansard
• Primary roof slopes: Medium to High slope (8:12 to 12:12)
• Roof eaves, porches, dormers, and interior door ways typically introduce a vernacular entabla ture
• Roof materials should provide a traditional appearance, such as metal or shingle
• Single doors are more prevalent than double doors. Double doors do not exceed a width of 3’-6”
• Large expanses of glass should be avoided, and sidelited doors typically incorporate a mullion no less than 4” in width
• Dormer proportions are typically no wider than the window plus its trim. Overhang and soffit to be minimal to none.
• Size of shutters to match sash opening. Shutter dogs are mounted below the shutter and not to the side
• Window trim to be 3 part or, 3 planes or surfaces

American Pioneers constructed rural farmhouses in the early 18th century, often using raw logs (log cabin style) or some combination of rough-hewn logs or native stone. Most farmhouses were constructed as very modest structures, perhaps two rooms wide and one room deep—which allowed enough space to house a young farm family. Over time and as the family’s needs grew, the farm became prosperous, which allowed the family to expand the house.
In the mid-19th century, manufactured materials such as brick, milled lumber, and quarried stone were transported to the farmer via the railroad. As a result, many farmhouses began to sport elements of other styles, including Greek columns instead of plain porch supports or stained glass and jigsaw-cut trim to give a Gothic flai.
High ceilings inside the homes also contributed to the air ow.

The Craftsman style emerged in the 1920s along with Bungalow, Prairie, and Foursquare styles as a result of the American Arts and Crafts movement.
The Arts and Crafts has been called the first uniquely Americanarchitectural movement. This movement was derived from nature. “The Craftsman” was a simplistic design philosophy. Ornamentation and detailing were straightforward and most often focused on the expression of structure and of how materials were joined. The simple formality of the Craftsman style and its ability to harmonize with its environment helped popularize its appeal and became the dominant style for smaller houses during the 1920’s.
High ceilings inside the homes also contributed to the air flo.
The use of horizontal proportions to ground the buildings was a dominant feature of the style. Large front porches supported by substantial columns on wide plinths provided a connection to the outdoors. Low-pitched roofs with deep over hangs were inspired by the trees found in nature. The structure was expressed in the exposed beams and rafters to create a signature feature of the style.
Decoration was unadorned, expressing the construction of the building. Wide unenclosed eaves, exposed rafters with ornamental details, supporting roof brackets, bargeboards, and wide flatwindow and door casings make up the basic language.
The use of simple materials complemented the natural feeling of the style. Exterior woodwork was
painted with the exception of the entry door that was stained. The interior plan was open and featured many built-in cabinets with tile, leaded glass, and warm natural woodwork.

These quaint styles of homes originated in England and were named after the peasant farmers or “cotters”. This style of a home also housed farmers and their families during the Middle Ages. These types of homes are often referred to as “two up, two down”, indicating that the house is only comprised of 4 basic rooms. In North America and other countries, cottages have been used for getaways during summer, holidays, & weekends.
