“This year’s EDITOR’S CHOICE award goes to a house that embodies a host of our favorite elements. It’s personal—a home years in the making that will nurture its owner’s passion for the arts, cooking, and wine-making for decades. Designed by architect Tina Govan, this heirloom house is built to harvest water and power from the sky, conserve energy within its state-of-the-art masonry walls, and present for centuries a sturdy defense against the inevitable hurricane churning up the Carolina coastline.”
