Andrew designed this addition to a beach house on Sullivan's Island. The
existing building, a former church, was built in the 19th century with
granite walls and a tower. The owner asked Andrew to design an addition
that would look older than the Gothic structure. Drawing its details and
textures from local historic military architecture
and its form from a Romanesque keep, the castle addition is now the island's
most whimsical landmark. Built with thick reinforced concrete walls,
massive cypress timbers, and a geothermal heat pump, it is also among the
most solidly constructed and sustainable buildings of its time. It was
completed in 2010. Construction Slideshow
