Meet the Team

Many hands and minds have worked tirelessly to make Timbers Kiawah the exceptional experience it is today. Each of us is passionate about sharing our island home with Owners and guests, and creating unparalleled experiences for families to make memories.

Development & Management

For more than a decade, the Timbers Resorts’ mission has stayed the same — to create special places to return to time and time again to get back to what is most important: spending time with family and friends. Places where luxury is without pretense. Comfortably casual. Unique. Authentic. Fun. Throughout its history, Timbers Resorts has committed to being authentic, unique, and respectful of the destination, focusing on family and experiences and never compromising with regard to quality and service.

Architecture

The vision for Timbers Kiawah is entrusted to Poss Architecture + Planning, recognized for an unwavering commitment to extraordinary and creative design that innately captures the essence of the surrounding environment — while simultaneously respecting and preserving natural beauty. This all-encompassing approach is the reason so many esteemed national and international clients have entrusted Poss with landmark residences and resorts around the world. Based in Aspen, Colorado, the firm’s signature work has helped to define the sophisticated new face of contemporary architecture.

Interior Design

To J Banks Design Group, resort is home and home is resort. When it comes to interiors, they are one in the same. Their residential projects have the same attention to detail and luxurious elements that you find at a five diamond resort, and their hospitality projects have all the comforts that encourage you to live and linger longer in their spaces. J Banks Design brings a level of service, communication and streamlined processes that make the complicated simple. They are a relationship based business that delivers results.

Master Planning & Landscape

The visionary work of Girvin Associates has defined some of the world’s great resorts — places where the developed landscape always seems in perfect harmony to the natural setting. It is always appropriate, restrained and very special. There is a thoughtful responsive synthesis of human values and aspirations for the setting. Highlights of the firm’s work include One & Only Palmilla and Esperanza in Los Cabos, Solage Calistoga and Bardessono in the Napa Valley, the Omni on Amelia Island and the Viceroy Anguilla Resort, as well as landmark community and private residences worldwide.​​
