Sprawling porches lined with rocking chairs, beadboard ceilings with a tint of blue, and stately lanterns with flickering gaslight...all these elements reflect the character of Charleston, but what lies beyond these charming facades? We’re giving you the key to the city and unlocking the doors to the most magnificent homes of the Lowcountry with the Architects’ Gallery of Custom Homes. Perched at the edge of the ocean or nestled at the base of an oak tree, these awe-inspiring designs are the envy of many. The Gallery, a special exhibit showcasing Charleston’s premier architects and their work, was on display August 26-28 at the Custom Home + Remodel Show at the Gaillard Auditorium. Presented in partnership with AIA Charleston and Charleston Home + Design Magazine, the exhibit offered hundreds of photographic explorations and brought visitors face-to-face with the architects and their vision. If you missed it, simply explore this site to embark on a pictorial journey of these stunning custom homes. Great design is no accident; please consider contacting the following firms for your own custom home project and rely on their years of experience and training to achieve the best possible result.
