This 104-resident home reflects South Carolina’s enduring commitment to its veterans. Designed around the Small House model—an approach Perkins Eastman has championed for over a decade to better serve our nation’s defenders—the single-story community is organized into household clusters that support connection, autonomy, and daily living on one’s own terms. Its architecture draws from the Lowcountry vernacular, with wide overhangs, shaded porches, and regionally inspired materials that reflect both climate and culture. Centrally located between Columbia and Charleston, the home brings care closer to aging veterans across the Midlands and coastal regions while also building partnerships with local HBCUs and healthcare programs to strengthen the regional care workforce.
