Monarch

The purpose of the Monarch design was to set a standard for multi-family high rise development that is sensitive to the fragile beachfront environment.  The Architectural Review Board had blocked development on this last Sea Pines site for many years because no one had designed a project innovative enough to protect the maritime forest and preserve the dunes.

The owner wanted to develop 120 units in five story building on a 5 1/2 acre site with impressive and exciting amenities.  Each unit had to have a beach view and experience the excitement of the ocean and amenities.  The client was adamant that the project be aesthetically pleasing and enhance the site rather than conflict with its natural character.  Amenities included swimming pools, natural lagoons, boardwalks, entertainment shelter and more.
