Legends Volume 37

We are pleased to present the newest edition of Legends magazine. In this issue, we explore the flora and fauna of Kiawah’s five protected habitats in “Nature Haven” with Lee Bundrick, Kiawah Conservancy’s senior ecological health and conservation coordinator (pg. 32). Next, we take a tour through the five distinct styles of architecture that have evolved on Kiawah in “Contrast Consensus” (pg. 44). See for yourself how each style has been developed gently within the natural environment, guided by our Designing with Nature philosophy. In “Celebrating Ten Years” (pg. 130), we reminisce over the highlights of the past decade with South Street Partners and we introduce you to thirteen iconic women who helped shape the Island into what it is today (pg. 108).
