Custom Home Additions for Awendaw Living
Awendaw living is about more than just your house—it is peaceful mornings under live oaks, evenings watching the sun set over the marsh, and weekends spent exploring creeks, trails, and the Francis Marion National Forest. The lifestyle here is rooted in nature, quiet, and connection, and sometimes your home needs more space to support the way you truly live in this setting. When that time comes, Citadel Enterprises designs custom additions tailored specifically to Awendaw properties and their unique rural–coastal character.
For over three decades, the Loy family—Pete and Peter—has been expanding and enhancing homes across the Charleston coast and surrounding communities, including Awendaw, with meticulous craftsmanship and thoughtful design. From second-story owner suites that look out over marsh and woodland views to guest spaces perfect for visiting family and friends, the team understands the distinct challenges and opportunities of building in a quiet Lowcountry environment close to the water.
Based in nearby Mt. Pleasant, Citadel Enterprises is well-versed in Awendaw’s mix of larger rural lots, Lowcountry architectural styles, and coastal climate considerations. Elevated or flood-aware construction where needed, energy-efficient engineering, moisture‑smart materials, and seamless architectural blending ensure your new space fits both your existing home and the natural landscape around it. Every addition is thoughtfully designed to complement Awendaw’s relaxed, nature-forward character.
Adding more to your life means creating spaces that support how you gather after a day on the water, unwind after time in the forest, or host family and friends—without losing the quiet charm that drew you to Awendaw.

Awendaw’s 4-Step Process for Seamless Projects
How we work
Building an addition in a rural–coastal area requires attention to site conditions, coordination, and respect for your time, privacy, and property. The proven process is designed to keep your project compliant, beautiful, and as stress-free as possible.
01-Consult & Design
A full home and site assessment, review of zoning or environmental considerations, and a preliminary design conversation start the process. The team evaluates your lot, structure, and goals, then develops custom concepts tailored to your home, lifestyle, and Awendaw’s setting.
02-Planning
Budgets are refined, a pre-construction agreement is reviewed, and the contract is finalized. You’ll select materials, fixtures, and finishes that fit your vision and perform well in a humid, Lowcountry climate, from exterior cladding to interior details.
03-Demo & Build
Construction is scheduled and carried out with respect for your home, land, and neighbors. Structural work, framing, mechanicals, and finishes are completed using proven methods suited to the Awendaw environment, with phased planning and clear communication to minimize disruption while you live in or near the home.
04-Finalize & Enjoy
Your new addition is blended seamlessly into the existing structure and landscape, inside and out. Final finishes, punch-list details, and a thorough walkthrough ensure the space feels complete, cohesive, and ready for everyday use—so your Awendaw home feels like it was always meant to be this way.

Coastal Building Challenges
Why Awendaw Homes Need Expert Additions
Building in a rural–coastal community like Awendaw presents unique challenges that demand specialized experience. Larger lots, natural drainage patterns, proximity to marshes and creeks, wind exposure, and flood-related considerations all mean Awendaw additions require a contractor who understands Lowcountry coastal construction from both a structural and site-planning perspective.
Coastal Climate & Elevation Awareness
Citadel Enterprises understands how flood zones, low-lying areas, and natural drainage affect foundations and addition placement. Elevated or flood-aware construction practices are used where appropriate so foundations, entries, and living spaces are planned with long-term safety and performance in mind.
Engineering for Wind & Weather
Every Awendaw addition is designed to meet or exceed applicable wind-load and structural requirements for the greater coastal region, with specific attention to framing, roof systems, connections, and exterior openings to help homes stand strong through storms and seasonal weather.
Moisture- and Salt-Resistant Materials
Even inland from the beach, Awendaw homes feel the effects of humidity and salt-influenced air from nearby creeks and the coast. Exterior finishes, flashing, windows, doors, and fixtures are selected for durability in a humid, coastal Lowcountry environment to reduce swelling, rot, and corrosion over time.
Architectural & Neighborhood Integration
New spaces are carefully designed to match your existing home’s character while respecting the surrounding trees, views, and natural features of your property, so additions look intentional and feel at home in the landscape instead of disrupting it.
Maximize Property Value
Well-designed Awendaw additions can significantly increase livable square footage, functional layout, and curb appeal—helping many homeowners realize strong returns on thoughtful expansions that highlight views, privacy, and outdoor connections.
Multi-Generational Living
Guest suites, aging‑in‑place modifications, and adaptable layouts support evolving family needs—from hosting extended family to planning for long-term living—while also appealing to future buyers seeking space, flexibility, and a strong connection to the outdoors.
