160 Good Hope
Berkeley Hall
Custom Solarium Renovation | Completed 2025 | 1,100 Sq Ft
Located within the private golf course community of Berkeley Hall in Bluffton, South Carolina, 160 Good Hope is a standout renovation project that brings the outdoors in — without compromising comfort or elegance. Designed and built by Sea Island Construction, this project transformed a dated screen porch into a fully enclosed, climate-controlled solarium retreat featuring natural light, refined details, and year-round usability.
Project Overview
The homeowners came to Sea Island Construction with a clear vision: create a solarium that felt connected to nature but offered the privacy, safety, and comfort of enclosed living. The result is a stunning 1,100 sq ft indoor-outdoor living space anchored by clean lines, bold finishes, and a show-stopping 20-foot sliding glass wall.
This is more than a sunroom — it’s a true extension of the home, perfect for entertaining, relaxing, or enjoying views of Berkeley Hall’s lush surroundings in any season.
