AN EXPERT WITH LOWCOUNTRY ROOTS

A native of South Carolina’s Lowcountry, Scott Anderson brings a special perspective into every Anderson Studio project. More than just planning around dramatic views and vistas, Scott’s nuanced approach to home design involves drawing inspiration from the lush, unspoiled environment of Kiawah Island.

More than simply finding inspiration in the natural world of Kiawah, Scott has served the community as a leading architect and interior designer for over 20 years. As the 2011-2013 Consulting Director of Architecture for Kiawah Partners, Scott was instrumental in aligning the island’s master development plan with ecological preservation.

Today, the island’s architectural review board maintains a focus on employing architecture and design as a means of highlighting the area’s unparalleled natural beauty. With every client’s home on Kiawah, The Anderson Studio strives to be a part of this mission.

WHAT IT’S LIKE

LIVING ON KIAWAH ISLAND

Just south of Charleston’s grandeur and history lies Kiawah Island—a secluded oasis by the sea. Teeming with wildlife and natural resources, the island has been a haven for human life since the time before European settlement.

Towards the end of the 20^th century, residential development on the island began. Cognizant of the natural diversity, ecosystem range, and wetland abundance, developers choose to preserve Kiawah’s pristine environment. Residents can enjoy exceptional natural beauty, resort level amenities, and quick access to the beach and proximity to bustling downtown Charleston.

We selected Anderson Studio based on their previous home designs, and AS combined those elements with images from our brains and dreams, to create our home. Thank you Anderson Studio!”
