James Hardie is a proud sponsor of HGTV^® Dream Home 2025

For nearly 30 years, HGTV® has given a custom-built home to one lucky winner of the HGTV Dream Home sweepstakes. James Hardie is thrilled to take part in this annual giveaway for the second year in a row, collaborating with HGTV as a proud sponsor. Our experts worked with designer Brian Patrick Flynn to choose Hardie® exterior siding products that would lend both timeless beauty as well as extreme weather durability to the home for decades to come.

Built in Bluffton, SC, a subtropical area known to get significant rainfall annually and hurricane threats each summer and fall, it was important for the home to be able to withstand the high humidity and strong winds associated with such a climate. The Lowcountry is also known for its architectural style with open, airy interiors, inviting porches and nods to Southern and coastal living, something the team at HGTV wanted to represent with this year’s home.

These factors made Hardie® fiber cement siding a natural choice of siding for the project. Hardie® Artisan® lap siding is known for its sophisticated elegance, offering gorgeous deep shadow lines and extra thick boards that evoke the historic look of natural wood. Hardie® trim ensures no corners go unfinished, completing the whole house look with classical appeal.

This distinctive look mimics the extant homes of the area, but the ultra-durable fiber cement materials mean the home will be better able to withstand damage from weather, moisture, and rot, making Hardie® siding ideal for the humid climate of South Carolina. Hardie® fiber cement products are water-resistant, so they protect against warping, and cracking, giving homeowners peace of mind, regardless of what the weather throws at the house.

Shoreline Construction, the custom home builder based in Bluffton who built the HGTV Dream Home 2025, specialize in Lowcountry homes, making them experts in constructing homes meant to reflect Lowcountry aesthetics while also knowing exactly how the home will need to withstand the local climate. Court Atkins Group, the award-winning Lowcountry architecture firm on the project, embraces Lowcountry aesthetics and design in their work, which is brought to life with the HGTV Dream Home.

The Lowcountry is known for its scenic vistas, including salt marshes and other coastal waterways. The HGTV Dream Home 2025’s palette of light and mid-tone blues and greens, much like Light Mist and Boothbay Blue from the Statement Collection® by James Hardie, mimic this watery inspiration, bringing a neutral and soothing atmosphere to the home.

Interior spaces even include Hardie® Artisan® Shiplap siding, such as in the garage and fireplace surround, offering alternative and unique dimensionality not often found inside the home. The final result is fresh and contemporary, while still staying true to the timeless appeal of the historically inspired house.
