Architects work in Charleston
Charleston searches for architects come from a mix of sources. There is the historic district, where owners of older houses on the peninsula look for help with additions and renovations that have to pass review. There is the new build work out toward Mount Pleasant and Summerville, where families moving into the metro search for a designer before they have picked a lot. There is also the commercial side, small hospitality and retail projects downtown and along the beaches. The firms competing for this work range from one person practices to established offices with a dozen staff, and the searches themselves are mostly local and specific: a house type, a neighbourhood, a review board. That is the demand available, and it is steady enough to support regular publishing.
