Homes that feel as if they have always been there.

Thomas Thaddeus Truett Architect designs custom homes in the classical and Southern vernacular traditions. From our studio on St. Simons Island, Georgia, we design homes on Sea Island and the Georgia coast, in Raleigh, and in the North Carolina mountains. Each home is rooted in tradition, built with current technology, and meant to feel timeless.

    A well-made home should feel inevitable.
    As if it belongs to its place and could not have been built any other way. Our work draws on the classical tradition and on the vernacular buildings of the coastal South: deep porches, raised floors, tall windows, shaded galleries and roofs shaped for heat and storms.

    “The materials of a building do not decorate it — they complete it. Architecture without texture is anatomy without skin.”
