Exterior Charm
To manage the home's tiny footprint, Ingram was meticulous with scale. "When designing little homes, you run the risk of them looking like playhouses unless you take the proportions really seriously," he says. So he played to a grander scale wherever he could, including the size of the windows and the front-and-center positioning of the porch. From there, it was a matter of adding classic Southern details—a blue porch ceiling, a metal roof, and lap siding. For inspiration, Ingram looked to both local history and examples from across the South. "We wanted this house to be an imaginative interpretation of several varieties of historical precedent," he says, noting influential sources such as the iconic porches of Charleston, South Carolina, and old plantations. "We called on the whole spectrum of Southern architecture to create our own ideal for this property, but it's the porches that immediately say this is a Southern home." Take a look at how Ingram melded modern efficiencies with old Southern charm.
Prettiest Porch on the Block
In keeping with Southern traditions, Ingram opted for a "haint blue" ceiling. He used Waterscape by Sherwin-Williams there and complemented it with a soft gray (Samovar Silver by Sherwin-Williams) on the floor. He left the porch unscreened to allow for maximum sunlight. "No matter how good the screen is, it will always cast at least a little bit of shade. Here, I wanted the shadows and the sunlight to play on the front," he says.
