HERLONG ARCHITECTS

DESIGNING YOUR CUSTOM DREAM HOME IS OUR PASSION

Herlong Architects is a full-service residential architecture and interior design firm based in Charleston, South Carolina, specializing in custom coastal home design. Each of our projects represents a design solution created for a specific site, often in the context of dramatic vistas and the comforting sanctuary of nature, that blends the seams between home and surroundings.

The beauty that defines each custom home is planned with our clients’ valuable input, reflecting their unique character and style. From the Lowcountry of the South Carolina coast to the hillsides and beaches of the Caribbean, our custom homes play as one with the beauty of the surrounding coastal landscape. The diversity of talent among our residential architects and interior designers contributes to a highly-collaborative, creative process with the singular goal of creating custom homes that simply belong.

Just as the specific site for your custom home should be incorporated during the design process, so should your home’s interiors. We believe that a collaborative approach between the owner, residential architect, and interior designer is essential to achieving the seamless blend of form, function, and style that creates a truly timeless home and makes the process of designing and building it a pleasure. Offering residential architecture and interior design services under one roof at Herlong Architects allows us to provide you the opportunity to do just that.

OUR APPROACH

  • "You are all wonderful people at Herlong Architects, and we could not be happier with our beautiful home design and Cintra’s wonderful touch in colors, fabrics, stone, and materials. We get compliments every week on our beach cottage. You have made our lives better through your creative genius. I strongly urge anyone of selecting an architect or interior designer to speak to your firm. You made a challenging task a journey of great accomplishment. " -D.Kirby

  • "We initially became interested in Steve Herlong's work when we saw a home that he had helped design on Dewees Island, SC. 12 years ago. After looking at other projects that Herlong & Associates had created we knew that we were interested in meeting with Steve to determine if we would be interested in spending several years working with him on designing our home. From the very first moment that we met Steve and his staff we knew that our search was over. Steve Herlong is extremely talented and has many years of experience. He is deliberate and thoughtful and we knew that we had his undivided attention every time we met with him. I can't imagine meeting anyone who is easier to work with than Steve Herlong. He brought our ideas to life and he and his team created the house that we only imagined in our minds." - Frank Addington | Charleston, SC

  • "Steve and his team have developed a reputation for designing a signature style when it comes to coastal homes. This reputation for excellence and elegance, along with our own firsthand experience in seeing the finished product, is what motivated us to contact him when we began the process of building our beachfront home. From walking the site, to understanding our needs, and the "bedside manner" they had in the many frequent touchpoints along the way, Steve and his team developed and delivered an amazing design that captured the unique characteristics of our site, and the eye of many a passerby. The outcome has been nothing but a joy. Their foresight and attention to every last detail has made our new home an unforgettable experience. We couldn't be more pleased, or have found a better partner!" - Mike Carter | Sullivans Island, SC

  • "Steve and his staff designed a house that went above and beyond my wildest expectations. I am as happy with it today as I was the day we moved in. It was a great pleasure to work with Herlong and Associates." - Kaye Smith | Sullivan's Island, SC

  • "Best architectural firm in the Lowcountry!" - Kathryn Richardson | James Island, SC

  • "I am a builder who has had the pleasure of working with Herlong & Associates on several projects, including my own personal residence. I have always found their entire organization to be very professional, creative, and responsive to an owner's desires or to the builder's needs. Their interior design team beautifully complements the talents of the architectural group. Their attention to detail is impeccable. I highly recommend Herlong & Associates to anyone planning to build a new custom home or to upgrade an existing home." - Steve Kendrick | Daniel Island, SC

  • "As a builder, there is an obvious correlation between the experience in constructing a home and the level of design produced in the plans. Herlong's designs have always been logical and well conceived, in addition to incredibly attractive and architecturally appropriate. The sign of a great architectural firm is one whose designs are enjoyably challenging, are rooted in functionality and are exciting to photograph once built. This is always the case with this fine outfit" - Rob Crawford | Mount Pleasant, SC

  • "We could not be more pleased with the home that Steve and his team designed for us. And he is surely pleased, too, because our home won both local and regional architectural awards. The process was a pleasure. And 13 years later, our home retains a timeless beauty. So often we hear the boaters as they go by in the creek, "Oh! what a beautiful house!"
