May Residential LLC is honored to announce that we were awarded two top accolades at the 2024 Lighthouse Awards, presented by the Hilton Head Area Home Builders Association. Our custom home at 22 Hawthorn Road in Bluffton, South Carolina received the awards for Best Exterior and Best Kitchen, recognizing the project’s exceptional design and craftsmanship.

These honors reflect May Residential’s continued commitment to creating architecturally significant homes that balance timeless elegance with thoughtful innovation. Every element of the 22 Hawthorn Road residence was tailored to reflect refined Lowcountry living, with particular attention paid to exterior architectural harmony and interior functionality.

The Best Exterior award highlights the home’s cohesive design, use of natural materials, and seamless integration with its surroundings. The Best Kitchen award recognizes a space designed to elevate everyday living, featuring a refined material palette, top-tier appliances, and carefully considered spatial flow.

“This recognition is a reflection of our team’s deep dedication to quality, creativity, and detail,” said Steven M. May Sr., President at May Residential. “We are proud to be acknowledged among the region’s leading builders and grateful to our clients who entrust us with the opportunity to bring their vision to life.”

Hosted annually, the Lighthouse Awards celebrate excellence in home building across the Lowcountry. Winning entries are evaluated by a panel of industry professionals for design, craftsmanship, and innovation.

We thank the Hilton Head Area Home Builders Association for this recognition and congratulate all of this year’s award recipients. We also extend our deepest appreciation to our talented design team, construction professionals, and valued clients who made this achievement possible.
