Coastal Living in South Carolina

Designed to bring the kitchen and patio together, this coastal home features a 60″ × 48″ ActivWall Gas Strut Window that transforms everyday living and entertaining. Built by Babb Custom Homes and designed by the team at Emory Grey, the space seamlessly connects indoors and out.

The white powder-coated window is positioned above a large farmhouse sink and opens effortlessly upward to create an instant pass-through bar while filling the kitchen with fresh air and natural light.

“We love how our ActivWall window creates a seamless flow between the heart of our home and the great outdoors,” the homeowner shared. “It opens effortlessly to the bar outside, making entertaining easy and enjoyable.”

Outside, a handcrafted live-edge wood countertop creates the perfect gathering spot for guests, while the built-in grill and warm wood-paneled ceiling extend the kitchen into a comfortable outdoor living space. Whether enjoying morning coffee or hosting family and friends, the two areas now function as one.

Built for the demands of coastal living, the Gas Strut Window features impact-resistant glass and an optional Coastal Finish to protect against salty sea air without sacrificing style.

This project is a perfect example of how one thoughtfully designed feature can elevate both the beauty and functionality of a home, creating an effortless indoor-outdoor lifestyle.
