Harry Gandy Howle Architects, P.A.

An excerpt from "Gem Island", a John's Island Publication

Acclaimed architect Harry Howle discusses the characteristics that make Gem Island unique, from an architect's perspective:

"The architectural vernaculars entertained on Gem Island vary from British Island Colonial, Gerogian and Plantation style. Each individual estate is structured around three main site characteristics: the view, the prevailing breezes off the water and the solar orientation.

Large porches and verandahs allow our clients to take advantage of all that Gem Island has to offer. In fact, it is not unusual for us to decide to make the second floor the main level of the home, in order to fully capture the commanding views. Every lot has a view of the water and is in close proximity to John's Island Sound and the Intercoastal Waterway.

Gem Island is a very exclusive and elite enclave offering some of the finest homesites on the east coast. The homes are unrivaled with a more distinct design structure, and each home sits on a substantially sized lot, providing more prestigious properties.

Not enough can be said about the unique natural amenities that Gem Island possesses, allowing for a low density development and the finest quality architectural design."
