Charleston Style & Design Magazine Spring 2015 hits the streets!
Very honored to have one of my designs on the Cover of the latest issue. Be sure to pick up a copy of the latest issue in Barnes & Noble or around Charleston and Kiawah Island.

Thanks for the Write-up!
This elevated, park under home is located along the Marshes of Beresford Creek here in the Lowcountry of South Carolina. Special consideration and design standards are extremely important when your property is located in the flood plain. I will ensure the design of your home meets and exceeds the Local and National Code requirements.
"Damien Busillo has been a pleasure to work with. Although my husband and I have built four homes in the past this was our first experience with having a custom home design. He has been a great help in finding ways to convey exactly the design we wanted, working with builders in the bidding process, working to help us find the landscape designer that fits our tastes and working wit h our neighborhood ARB to help us get our design approved.
Damien has been very flexible to make changes in order to fit our needs and I know that the end product will be a home that we will be so proud to call our own. It's been a pleasure to work with him!"

Harbor Watch Residence Construction Update
Well, the windows have been installed and the liquid applied waterproofing membrane work continues. This 3-part process will inevitably provide an air tight seal to the exterior envelope of the home. This will equate to a 30-40% reduction in air infiltration....thus lowering the heating and cooling loads. I am excited to be a part of this innovative process courtesy of STO Corp.

Thanks Home Stratosphere!
One of my designs was just featured on the website www.homestratosphere.com
Nestled along the beautiful marshes of Coastal South Carolina, this private residence was designed with low maintenance in mind. During the design process we will discuss ways in which we can achieve this. A sustainable home is one that only uses enough materials and energy so it will not impact further generations.
"We could not be happier with the end product. We contacted Damien with a hodgepodge of design ideas and he was able to put it all together into a house that has met our needs aesthetically and functionally. I frequently referred to Damien as the "marriage counselor" of architecture as he was able to creatively meet the diverse requests of my husband and myself. We love our new house designed by DLB design! "

Kiawah Island Renovation under way
Construction is under way to a second story addition to an existing garage. The new homeowners requested an additional bedroom space, and we had just enough space to tuck it under the grand Live Oak that sits in the front yard. When it is complete, the addition will appear to have been there all along.
Best of Houzz 2015!
Houzz has awarded me with "Best of" honors in both my Designs and my Customer Service.
