Close to Custom - Dogwood

Small Footprint, Big Impact

If you're drawn to modern design with deep Southern roots, the Dogwood might be your perfect fit. This compact dogtrot-style home uses smart, passive design strategies to feel generous and connected to the outdoors—while also being incredibly energy efficient.

The main house and guest suite are linked by a wide, breezy porch that becomes a true living space, perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Carefully oriented to harness prevailing winds, this home is designed to stay cool naturally and perform beautifully in a hot, humid climate.

From rainwater collection and hurricane-ready construction to the option for full energy independence with solar and battery storage, the Dogwood proves that good design can also be resilient and sustainable. It’s ideal for those looking to live simply, beautifully, and with a lighter footprint.
