Harry Howle's work spans the highlands of North Carolina
to Florida's coastline and is as far reaching as Cozumel.
Holding licensed certification in the allied disciplines of
architecture, landscape architecture, and interior design,
Harry and his firm competently understand, plan, and
provide for every aspect of design. However it really goes
beyond that, long before Harry's career began thirty-three
years ago.
A native of South Carolina's coastal plain, where some
of the most splendid examples of Southern Classical
domestic architecture exist, Harry absorbed the presence
of these structures growing up. His early exposure to the
grand style and reasoned order of these distinguished
plantation homes imbued him with his intuitive classical
approach to architecture. It simply became second nature
to him.
Later on, Harry's innate design skills were deftly honed
during his education at Clemson University and the
University of Georgia. In addition, he has been profoundly
influenced by the architectural treatises of Vitruvius and
Palladio, who both defined the splendor of classical
antiquity, as well as the Spanish Colonial vernacular
Addison Mizner brought to Palm Beach in the 1920s. In
particular Harry respects Mizner's penchant for blurring
the distinction between inside and outside through the
generous use of wide balconies, glazed cloister ways and
open loggia rooms.
