Clarke Design Group

Clarke Design Group is one of the finest residential design companies in Charleston. I have worked closely with Phil Clarke and his team for over 10 years. His natural ability to see a clients vision and transform their ideas into a physical building is astonishing. I would recommend Clarke Design Group and Phil Clarke to anyone looking to build in and around Charleston.

We choose this firm because we wanted to work closely with the architects in the complete design of our home. They listened to all our wants and needs and we couldn't ask for a better team! We have a very difficult piece of property to work with and they really came through in keeping with the traditional design we asked for. Thank you Phil and crew!

Clarke Design Group has and is designing homes for our development company (Beacon Street Development Company in Raleigh, NC). When Beacon Street was planning Moss Landing, our new waterfront neighborhood in Washington, NC (www,mosslandingnc.com), it was a must that the homes be historically inspired and reflect the heritage and architecture of the surrounding area. After being introduced to Phil and reviewing his past work, we were convinced that Clarke Design Group was the answer for Moss Landing. One of the greatest compliments we hear is for a passerby to question whether our homes that are being built are new construction or if they are historic homes that are being renovated. There are numerous examples of this occurring which is a testament to both Phil and his team. Phil also designed my personal home which was also a great experience. My homesite was peculiar in shape and required a special solution. Phil delivered a great home which we are proud of and thoroughly enjoy. I would recommend Clarke Design Group to anyone who is passionate about great architecture, and desires a home that not only looks wonderful but is functionally practical as well.

When we first starting thinking about designing our home, on our lot with a large oak tree on Daniel Island, we knew that we wanted one that looked like it had historical significance. A house with that true southern coastal feel - Phil Clarke nailed it. In fact Phil did an excellent job for us in all aspects of the process! He walked with us from the initial planning stages through the overall design and on to build completion. He was involved in every step of the way and even went above and beyond attending a City of Charleston Review Board meeting with us for a certain zoning amendment we needed. Phil's attention to detail and excellent way of listening to our wants and needs let him create a home that works perfectly for both our peculiar lot size and maximized our lifestyle both inside and outdoors. We would recommend that anyone who is looking for a beautifully designed historical southern coastal home to use Phil and his team!
