Fripp Island
Fripp Island, a private gated community, is located in St. Helena between Charleston, South Carolina and Savannah, Georgia—just 18 miles east of Beaufort. Known for its white sand beaches, winding marsh waterways, and tall Palmetto trees, Fripp offers a uniquely secluded coastal setting that draws both permanent residents and second-home owners. With its distinctive topography, quiet pace, and strong sense of community, the island offers a different rhythm of living—one that values privacy, proximity to nature, and an unhurried lifestyle. Our work on Fripp reflects a deep understanding of that rhythm. Rather than impose a design, we approach each project as a response to the island’s atmosphere—its light, its views, its tides.
