The Coastal Discovery Museum, located on Honey Horn Plantation, occupies 68 acres of mostly undisturbed land on the western edge of Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. The mission of the Coastal Discovery Museum is to inspire people to appreciate and care for the lowcountry of South Carolina. Thus, the design of the new facility should incorporate and attract the larger region while being hyper-specific to the uniqueness of the site conditions and Hilton Head Island as a whole. This studio asked students to design additional spaces for the existing Coastal Discovery Museum to highlight the unique ecosystems, textures and history while maximizing the site.
This was the final design project I participated in as an undergraduate student at Clemson University, in collaboration with colleagues Kara Ammon and Alexis Pagano. Shared drawings will be noted throughout the spreads.
our final 40" x 60" board summarizing our semester-long studies.
this won an honorable mention award for the studio.
