In Charleston’s South of Broad, one of the most historic quarters of the peninsula, this residence was designed to honor the character of its architecture while introducing a fresh, livable sensibility. Original detail is treated with reverence, and the layers added around it feel current, comfortable, and tailored to the family who lives there. It is Alexandra Howard’s signature balance of Southern grace and cosmopolitan polish, a South of Broad home that respects its provenance without ever feeling like a museum.
