The coastal Virginia Tidewater area produced one of the South's best loved architectural styles. The Tidewater house was a simplification of the English Georgian-style house, modified to suit the local climate, available building materials, and the skills of colonial craftsmen. Inside our plan, a long center hall doubles as a gallery when equipped with track lighting. Ten-foot ceilings lend volume to the main-floor rooms. Brightness and warmth are ensured by the plan's three fireplaces and by generous stretches of window walls along the rear. William H. Phillips, Jr., of Dauphin Island, Alabama, designed A Tidewater Traditional. more

This Tidewater house plan offers all the trimmings-an assortment of traditional Williamsburg features plus the comforts and hospitality of home. Modeled after Pembroke, a Virginia home built in 1701, our updated version retains the distinctive exterior detailing and the unusual U-shaped floor plan of the original. The house, with its adjoining court and terraces, forms a self-contained compound. The entry court, planted with boxwoods, leads guests to a raised brick terrace that's bordered by a Chippendale balustrade. Double doors are set beneath a narrow ribbon transom. Our Deck the Halls plan was designed by architect William H. Phillips, Jr., of Dauphin Island, Alabama. more
