A new home that belongs under the Pass Christian oaks
Pass Christian has a look of its own. Scenic Drive runs for more than two miles under live oaks, past historic cottages and grand old homes that earned the district a place on the National Register of Historic Places. The harbor, the long beach on the Mississippi Sound and the sailing history (the Southern Yacht Club started here in 1849) give the town a slower, coastal rhythm that people fall in love with. A new home in Pass Christian should feel like it belongs in that setting.
Our Oaks Drive home is a good example. It is a white board-and-batten coastal home with a cottage feel from the street, and inside a navy kitchen island with brass hardware, a beamed great room with a fireplace and a staircase, and a freestanding soaking tub in the primary bath. Classic coastal lines outside, comfortable modern living inside. That balance is what most Pass Christian clients ask us for.
This is also a town that knows what the Gulf can do. Pass Christian has rebuilt after major storms, and today new homes here are designed with elevation, wind and water in mind from the start. We take that seriously. Lino reviews the flood zone and elevation requirements for your specific lot early, then designs the foundation, the stairs, the porches and the parking around them so the house is both safe and good looking.

Where in Pass Christian are you building?
- Scenic Drive and the historic core
- Lots near Scenic Drive and the streets behind it sit among historic homes and old oaks. We design porches, rooflines and siding that respect the neighborhood, and we protect the trees during construction.
- Henderson Point
- At the west end of town near the Bay St. Louis Bridge, Henderson Point puts you between the Sound and the bay. Waterfront exposure here means wind, salt and elevation planning come first.
- Around the harbor and downtown
- Close to the harbor, the beach and the shops, lots tend to be smaller and closer together. A thoughtful footprint and a raised design where required make the most of them.
- North of the beach and toward DeLisle
- Away from the beachfront, lots get larger and more wooded, with more room for a single-story plan, a big garage or a shop. Drainage and clearing are the main early questions here.
Four coastal decisions we make with you before we build
Elevation and foundation
Set by the flood zone rules for your exact lot, decided before the floor plan is final.
Wind and roof
Roof connections, openings and structure planned for hurricane season and verified by inspections.
Salt and sun
Siding, trim, fasteners and outdoor equipment chosen to hold up near the Sound.
Heat and humidity
Ventilation, moisture control and HVAC sized for long Gulf Coast summers.
