Lowcountry Home Magazine “The Lowcountry style is meant to be practical, simple and understated,” according to Jenny. “The home should feel like it has evolved over time, just like the area.”

Many architectural features of Lowcountry homes from years past were utilized for the practical purpose of keeping residents cooler and more comfortable. These features were often based on the concept that warm air rises and cool air sinks. For example, double hung windows allowed homeowners to open the bottom pane to allow cool air in and the top to let warm air escape. Tall ceilings and open floor plans were used to keep the air circulating and allow the warm air to rise.

Transom windows were another common feature of “Lowcountry” homes. Transfom is an architectural term referring to a structural crosspiece that separates the frame of a door from the frame of a window. They are often used on exterior doors to provide additional light as well as ventilation. Although the modern conveniences of air conditioning have alleviated the functional need of most of these elements, the look and feel remains the same. Jenny says one quintessential feature of “Lowcountry” homes that continue to serve a practical purpose is the use of outdoor rooms such as covered porches, screen porches or sun rooms. Porches were originally built to shade the home’s interior from the hot and humid coastal sun as well as provide an additional living space during the mild fall and winter seasons. Today, an outdoor living area is one of the biggest requests May River Custom Homes receives from its clients. These spaces have evolved from simple sitting rooms to elaborate spaces for families to sit, play, eat and enjoy each other’s company and the breathtaking Lowcountry views. A popular and extremely common feature of a Lowcountry porch is the blue ceiling, often referred to as Haint blue. According to Jenny, Haint blue is a shade of blue-green that was once believed to ward off evil spirits or “haints.” Many Southerners painted their porch ceilings blue to protect the house and its occupants from evil Others believed the blue ceiling served as an insect repellent and some simply enjoyed the light blue because it appeared to extend daylight. No matter the reasoning behind it, this color tradition has continued in the Lowcountry, Jenny says.
