Located just outside of Charleston, S.C., this beautiful beach house features a front lawn defined by native sweetgrass and dwarf papyrus. These plants not only soften the home's exterior, but also evoke the texture and movement of the marsh in the distance.

A clean concrete path both highlights the home's dramatic entrance and puts a modern twist on its coastal style. To increase visibility at night, landscape architect J.R. Kramer layered the walkway with sconces and other lights.

Following that concrete path leads visitors to a wood landing, where they can either go upstairs or continue straight ahead to the water. This breezeway also accommodates ocean winds and allows for proper aeration.

What beach house would be complete without a bright yellow door to match its sunny surroundings? An industrial railing with steel cables finishes off the balcony and provides an unexpected contrast to the natural landscaping.
