Jonas Pate, who is the director and one of the creators, writers, and executive producers of Outer Banks, “had some specific direction for us on the décor. We then added our furniture, decor and counter-top dressing and a kitchen and dining space were born!" Other rooms that were dressed at Lowndes Grove include the bedrooms of Sarah Cameron, her little sister, Wheezie, and John B. "All of our cabinets, appliances, and island were built by our construction department and brought in and assembled in sections and fitted into the space. "There is no furniture in this space, so our designer again came up with a plan to build it," recalls Ricker. The kitchen was built and dressed inside of the adjoining River House, a satellite building on the property usually used for receptions and smaller gatherings. The farm table in the foreground seats eight people, while the additional kitchen table in the background can expand to hold six. We also kept all of the chandeliers and sconces, yet added our own mini silk shades to some of them.” "The bones of the historic home are amazing, and we did, in some cases, keep the grand window treatments, palace rugs, and some beautiful marble-top sideboards in the foyer. A North Carolina State Flag was also added to the exterior, given that Outer Banks takes place there.Īs for the interiors, "we created all of our interiors for Tanneyhill (the Cameron’s residence) on location at Lowndes Grove," says Ricker. This was done by the vendor, at great expense to the production,” says location scout Linda Lee. Tracy Smith informs us that “a lot of trees and other debris were brought in to display the hurricane destruction for the exterior." Lee adds that “a huge upturned tree root was created by the Greens and Construction departments.” Additionally, a glass tent had to be removed and later reinstalled, because it is usually “attached to the side of the house for events and weddings. When you consider all that goes into designing a fictitious geography with centuries of maps, tied to the Outer Banks story arch, it’s a really creative project.”Įarly on in season one of Outer Banks, a hurricane occurs, so, set designer D. I think it’s interesting that we created a history of fictitious maps, then used them as treasure maps to find buried gold. "We needed the home to be this age because our characters, the Pogues, find treasure maps leading them to buried gold near this historic plot of land. "One of the key features we needed for the Cameron family home was that it felt like a home built in the late 1700s," Novotny adds. Of course, they were shown other locations to give them choices, but Lowndes Grove was always the favorite." "In our story, it's been built in the 1700s, so it's like an old Charleston house, but it's okay if it’s been updated with modern amenities, like a pool or retrofitting certain aspects of it.’” Given this fitting description, Lee knew that “Lowndes Grove fit the bill, and Jonas Pate and Daniel Novotny, the production designer, loved it. "The director, Jonas Pate, said he wanted Tanneyhill ‘to be an older house on the water, with at least two or three acres of land,'" she recalls. Lowndes Grove has been a favorite of Lee’s for many years. The mature maritime oak trees have that distinctive Southern charm." We chose Lowndes Grove because it embodied that wealthy historic vibe. "We needed the home to feel historically significant. "In January 2019, Netflix invited me to an early scout of Charleston to see options for our key locations, including the Cameron family home, in a fictitious neighborhood called Tanneyhill," he says. The selection of Lowndes Grove as the Cameron family home has been in the works since early last year, says production designer Dan Novotny. In the show Outer Banks, the home was once the residence of the fictional Denmark Tanney (possibly inspired by Denmark Vesey), a slave who discovered gold after a voyage on the (also fictional) Royal Merchant ship (likely influenced by the very real Merchant Royal ship), then used that gold to free himself and other enslaved people. The stunning Georgian-style home is surrounded by oak trees and overlooks the serene Ashley River.
