For us, a clear understanding of what is being designed, built or re-fashioned is a must, so before we ever put pen to paper we take the necessary time to listen and assess. Results-driven, we design strategically and artfully to create winning solutions that bring value to our clients, whether the goal is a more efficient business, a clearer brand, or a more functional, livable custom residence. We believe that modern design is not found solely in the materials, but rather through the pursuit of better spaces for living and doing business. Rush Dixon Architects is woman-owned and small by design. WHAT MODERN DESIGN MEANS TO US We are passionate about design, work hard and have fun along the way. Over the years, we have leaned more and more toward minimalism and a modernist approach to our designs while keeping eyes wide open to the environmental and built context. Add in the end user’s programmatic requirements to complete the march towards form following function. Historically, the term ‘modern architecture’ describes an architectural style lacking ornamentation and embracing minimalism, usually by incorporating the use of glass, steel and concrete. Modern design to us means functional, empathetic, sustainable, and edited design. Our derivation of this movement is ever changing with the needs of our clients, construction materials and sustainable strategies. We feel there is power in simplicity and continue to evolve, refine and explore with each design opportunity. COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITY “Talent is universal but opportunity is not.” It is clear to us that we are able to do what we love because we were given opportunities in education, industry mentorship and through clients who trust us with their projects. To that end we invest in our local community and the industry at large to help create an equitable landscape for all by supporting the following organizations: Lowcountry Local First, ACE Mentors, Turn 90 Project, Fresh Future Farm and the Paul R. Williams Student Scholarship.

I initially met them working on a school construction project about 10 years ag. Since then, I've hired them to help us with the initial space planning and buildout of my office space, the renovation of my office and most recently, as a custom home builder working together on a beautiful waterfront project. I truly enjoy their creative talents and professionalism, and they are just plain fun to work with! As a custom builder, communication and attention to detail is extremely important to us. It is how we keep our projects on schedule, on budget and how we keep our clients happy. Rush and Judy set the bar for how a builder and architect team should collaborate to design and build exceptional projects for our clients. **Comment from Rush Dixon Architects:** > Thank you Steve; it is always a great experience working with you and the expert team at Structures. **★★★★★ — Kiersten Ahlm, May 2022** > Rush Dixon Architects were fantastic to work with. We bought preliminary plans from them and worked together to design a custom home. One of the most notable additions were the shelves in our entry way. They really understood our vision and were able to create a design that perfectly showcased some of our most cherished pieces, and also flowed beautifully with the rest of the house. **Comment from Rush Dixon Architects:** > Thank you so much for the chance to be a part of your home design. **★★★★★ — joharvey, May 2022** > Rush and Judy Dixon worked well as a team to bring our vision for our dream home to life. They are very thoughtful and detailed every step of the way. They were able to give our traditional home a more clean modern aesthetic as we requested. I highly recommend them! **Comment from Rush Dixon Architects:** > Thank you so much for allowing us to be part of the team; looking forward to you enjoying your renovated home! **★★★★★ — Liz O., April 2022** > Where to start?! Wherever it is that function and form meet in perfect harmony... that is the space where Rush Dixon Architects resides. Working with this group was a pleasure from start to finish. I never questioned if I had made the right choice. My project was a detached studio space behind my home. I wanted an environment that served as my workspace on a daily basis, would be perfect for a client meeting, a place to entertain friends, a place for visiting family to stay or a future mother-in-law suite. In addition, it needed to work well in the environment and complement the existing home. Rush Dixon's design achieved all that and more. It's a beautiful place and space. > > I think the key is that they listen and use their expertise to achieve your goals. And, they are just so easy to be around. Good people. I am so grateful to have found and worked with them and they will be my first call on any future projects. **Comment from Rush Dixon Architects:** > Thank you so much; it was so great to be a small part of your studio project! **★★★★★ — Meggan Crocker, April 2022** > Rush Dixon Architects has a unique and inspired vision for contemporary commercial and residential design in the Lowcountry. Conceptualized and drafted to capture every beautifully clean detail, Rush and Judy Dixon were a pleasure to work with and always available and eager to ensure the journey from concept to reality was seamless. > ~ Jay Godefroy, Project Manager on behalf of Cline Homes **Comment from Rush Dixon Architects:** > Thank you to the entire Cline Homes team; it was a pleasure to collaborate. **★★★★★ — Russ Seamon, April 2022** > Amazing designers, great people, super thoughtful...super creative...AND super technical, wonderful to work with! SeamonWhiteside has done many projects with RDA and they have exceeded our expectations each and every time. If there was a sixth star we'd give it to them! **Comment from Rush Dixon Architects:** > Thank you so much; we are so fortunate for the continued collaboration! **★★★★★ — brownalnc, April 2022** > Rush and Judy Dixon took the time to understand the nature and scope of our project and came up with a plan that fit our family perfectly. They were professional, responsive, and easy to work with. **Comment from Rush Dixon Architects:** > Thanks for sharing; we are delighted we could be a small part of your new chapter! **★★★★★ — Mike Weeks, April 2022** > Great attention to detail. Rush and Judy have great vision from a limited amounted of customer input. They took our limited ability to convey our ideas and brought the vision to life in our building plans. First we talked about the elements that we wanted to accomplish and made sure that my wife and I were on the same page; then what we wanted the interior and exterior to look like. I had already sketched a general floor plan with the number of bedrooms and general placement of rooms. They made our ideas exceed our vision. We are so happy with the results. Our home would not have the wonderful look without their ability to transform ideas to construction plans. **Comment from Rush Dixon Architects:** > Thanks so much Mike; we appreciate the opportunity to help! **★★★★★ — Zach Bearden, April 2022** > The team at Rush Dixon Architects consistantly exceeds client expections. They have designed multiple projects for me and I have always been imrpessed with how well they have interpreted my vision and project goals into the homes we have developed. I highly reccomend Rush, Judy and the rest of the RDA team if you have upcoming residential or commercial design needs. They are extremely responsive, nimble and talented. A combination that is difficult to find! **Comment from Rush Dixon Architects:** > Thank you, appreciate the review and the continued collaboration, Zach. **★★★★★ — William O'Neal, April 2022** > My wife and I worked with Rush Dixon Architects (Rush and Judy) for over 6 months to design our forever home. They were able to extract our architectural style, spatial needs, and project program musts. The overall process with Rush and Judy is unlike most firms you will work with. Meetings include discussions, hand sketches, and interaction in an effort to deliver you the best product. Our house plans were executed in such a precise manner due to Rush's attention to detail and Judy's constant love for meeting the client's expectations. We look forward to working with them again on our next project and will refer any of our family/friends to them. CAN'T GO WRONG!! > > William and Stephanie **Comment from Rush Dixon Architects:** > Thanks William. We are so glad to have been a small part of this exciting chapter for you and your family! ## Selected projects - [Mount Pleasant Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mount-pleasant-residence-pj-vj~6886695) - Location: Mount Pleasant, SC - Photos: 22 - Description: The Owners’ design goals were to create a modern, functional and sustainable design for their new home in the Old Mount Pleasant neighborhood.

Prior to the commencement of construction the current homeowner purchased the property; we were then able to customize the design to their priorities and preferences. - [Bentgrass Modernist House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bentgrass-modernist-house-pj-vj~6896527) - Location: Charleston, SC - Photos: 1 - [Minimalist Cabin](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/minimalist-cabin-pj-vj~6896569) - Location: Saluda, NC - Photos: 2 - Description: This residence is a study in simplicity; designed to maximize views and while creating a strong connection to the site. - [Carrere Court Residences](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/carrere-court-residences-pj-vj~6896612) - Location: Charleston, SC - Photos: 1 - Description: This speculative infill development included three single family residences located in the Cannonborough neighborhood in downtown Charleston.
