After attending Roger Williams University’s School of Architecture, Gary Turgeon moved to Virginia and became a partner with Colony Ltd., a design-build firm in Williamsburg specializing in custom homes with colonial or traditional designs. During Gary’s eight years with Colony, the firm built over seventy homes in communities such as Kingsmill, Ford’s Colony, and Governor’s Land.
In 1998, Gary moved to South Carolina and worked with The Cliffs Communities as a Project Manager. He was the developer’s representative on such projects as The Cliffs at Glassy Chapel, The Lakehouse at Keowee Vineyards, and The Cliffs Valley Clubhouse. Although Gary enjoyed the development part of the construction business, he missed the more personal experience of designing and building custom homes. In 2000, Gary founded Oasis Custom Homes.
