2024 Urban Guild Merit Award for Design Excellence

This charming design is a great example of how to make it work while paying homage to the past and addressing the need for contemporary housing solutions in our historic districts.

What sets this project apart is its adaptability. Designed to accommodate a variety of uses, the duplex can be used as owner-occupied housing, rentals, or even short-term vacation stays. Its versatile design has already inspired similar developments across the Southeast, proving its value as a replicable model for urban housing.

Our team worked hard to make this project a success. It is a beautiful home that fills a much-needed niche in providing affordable and workforce housing. It’s a win for Beaufort’s neighborhoods and a great example of how to develop in our older towns.

The Washington Duplex is not just a duplex; it is a game-changing example of how to provide great housing in urban centers.

This innovative design was recently honored with the 2024 Urban Guild Merit Award for Design Excellence.
