Explore an Innovative Lowcountry Getaway: Design Your Dream Home.

Discovering a Thoughtfully Designed Lowcountry Retreat

For many, a vacation to the stunning Palmetto Bluff in South Carolina can be more than just a getaway; it can spark the desire to create a home that embodies the same unique charm. Anna Sosa, captivated by her first trip to this luxury residential community, was swift to act on her impulse and began to envision a second home designed by the talented Nicole Cohen, whose fresh and innovative take on interiors had caught her attention on social media. "I had always said, ‘If I ever build a house, I would love to work with her,’” Sosa shares. This collaboration marked the start of an exceptional design journey.

A Blend of Tradition and Modernity

Cohen's approach to the project started with the home's exterior, choosing a checkerboard Techo-Bloc tile driveway that pushes boundaries while adhering to the Lowcountry aesthetic— showcasing how traditional can be reimagined. Inside, her design choices emphasize a balance between playful and stately elements. This is evident with the installation of kidney-shaped sofas in rust and taupe hues that create a space that feels both inviting and sophisticated, encouraging relaxation and conversation.

Collecting Inspiration and Materializing Dreams

To curate the interior, Sosa collected visuals that unified her unique sense of style—one that seamlessly intertwined feminine elegance with a touch of modern edge. Cohen embraced the challenge of translating Sosa’s vision into a cohesive narrative within the home. The stunning foyer, featuring a squiggly pattern of terracotta bells, creates an immediate visual impact while harmoniously pairing with the soaring ceilings and elegant fixtures, showcasing how details can set the tone for an entire space.

Captivating Details that Tell a Story

The thoughtful details extend to the powder room, where custom elements like a Rojo Breccia sink and Pierre Frey wallpaper mirror the local marsh landscape, encapsulating the surrounding beauty within the home's intimate quarters. Moreover, Sosa's fashion sense significantly influenced the interiors, leading to an exquisite space that balances bold and subtle design choices. It’s a reminder that home decor can express personal style while remaining grounded in a lush environment.

Functional Yet Whimsical Spaces

In the heart of the home, the kitchen doesn’t just serve a practical purpose; it’s an artistic statement piece. Drenched in light and adorned with hand-painted backsplash tiles, the space encourages both culinary creativity and comfortable family gatherings. Its design philosophy echoes Cohen’s strategy of blending modern durability with elegance through thoughtful selections like fusion quartzite countertops and vibrant cabinetry, creating a joyful kitchen that is as practical as it is visually pleasing.

Embracing Nature with Every Design Choice

Throughout the home, every room is designed to ensure a connection with the natural surroundings. From Sosa's primary bedroom with views of the serene waters to the nature-inspired dijon-toned woodland wallpaper, Cohen's designs enhance the tranquil ambiance of Palmetto Bluff, allowing the beautiful backdrop to blend seamlessly into the living spaces. Cohen’s choice to echo natural elements promotes both a sense of calm and a touch of unexpected whimsy.
