Clark-Glidewell/Architect

Shelley Clark-Glidewell, owner of Clark-Glidewell/Architect, LLC (CGA) is an architectural firm established in Charleston, SC in 1998. CGA specializes in custom one of a kind residential architecture. Our projects range from Kitchen and Master Bath renovations to historic restorations and renovations to new traditional and contemporary construction. Shelley has experience will many different types of homes with each project focusing on the individual client and their needs. As a registered architect, Shelley will provide her experience and foresight to the project, but ultimately it is the homeowner who lives in the house after construction is complete. It is their wishes that must be realized to complete the final product. Shelley has in depth preservation experience, along with Masters of Architecture degree concentrating in Historic Preservation from the University of Michigan. She has worked 27 years with homes in the Historic District and surrounding areas in Charleston, SC and Summerville, SC. She can help you navigate the ever looming city requirements and BAR (Board of Architectural Review). Shelley also has experience in the local ARB (Architectural Review Board) of Kiawah and Seabrook Islands, SC. Preservation is just one love, as Shelley can easily design new construction with a traditional or modern flair. And, sustainability is interwoven throughout her entire 33 year architectural career. Restoring an old home is the ultimate case for sustainability. (Shelley and her husband personally restored 3 homes in Charleston.) Using both old and new technologies together works best for all projects. Energy efficient and the most up to date technology is an important aspect of all designs. Detail, detail, detail is not just a mantra, but a follow through during the construction process. Shelley is currently active in the following: Downtown Charleston First Baptist School and Church. She is serving her 2nd (3 year) term on the FBS Board of Directors. Currently, she is the Owners Representative for the new High School building being constructed on James Island.
