Designed by James Knight | Reynard Custom Homes
These two-story coastal craftsman-style homes capture the timeless appeal of classic architecture while embracing the relaxed elegance of modern coastal living. They offer an inviting and functional retreat, harmonizing seamlessly with coastal island living.

Using St. Simons Island, Georgia, as a contextual backdrop, this architectural concept was designed to integrate with a thoughtfully planned community. These homes promote walkability, shared green spaces, and a tranquil environment perfect for families, retirees, and vacation homeowners. The community plan integrates off-street parking, communal areas, and well-placed pathways, encouraging a welcoming and relaxed coastal lifestyle.

Design Concept & Inspiration
Inspired by the rich architectural heritage of Southern coastal homes, this design features welcoming front porches, distinctive gabled roofs, and intricate wood detailing. It prioritizes open and airy interiors with high ceilings, maximizing natural light and creating a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor spaces.

Each home is carefully positioned to optimize views and privacy, nestled within lush landscaping and along tree-lined streets that foster a serene, community-oriented atmosphere. The pedestrian-friendly layout encourages a strong sense of neighborhood connection.
