Green Building in Hilton Head Island.

“Paul Cole of Cole Design Studio was a referral which we are very pleased to have checked into. We met Paul at his home office along with his welcoming committee, Charlie and Bella, two extremely lovable dogs. We got right down to business discussing the construction of a home on land we purchased some time ago and what our budget would allow. Paul's portfolio of completed designs, plus our own thoughts were put to paper in a very professional and expeditious manner. Paul worked with us, making suggestions when we were unsure of our design and gave us ideas we hadn't thought of. The final plan is one we cannot wait to have built. In the interim, we asked Paul to design a two and a half car garage with an apartment above to be constructed adjacent to the home Paul was designing. The plan was exactly what we had in mind and Paul was able to maximize limited space to create a very comfortable living area. Construction of the garage/apartment is almost completed. If you choose Cole Design Studio you will have the pleasure of working with someone who is extremely knowledgeable, professional and personable. Your Paul Cole designed home will be lovely to look at and extremely well structured. It will be a home you and future generations will enjoy. Betty & Richard Gibbons”

“I met Will over 10 years ago when he was the project Architect on a complicated multi million dollar oceanfront home my company was building. This is not an easy position to fill and he did an excellent job. We formed a good relationship and for more than a decade Will has done design and CAD drafting work for my company. I have found him to have superior design skills, takes direction very well, completes his work on time and has respect for budget constraints. Most recently we have been working together on the shop drawings for all of the interiors of an apartment in Manhattan, NY. This has been a difficult and demanding project and as usual Will has performed very well. More over, I have found him to have an exemplary work ethic and solid character. We have worked together many times on an hourly basis and I always felt that his compensation was fair, justified and reasonable.”

“I have worked with the team at Court Atkins on many projects. They are the leading firm in the Hilton Head & Bluffton, SC area. William Court & James Atkins have assembled a superb team of architects and interior designers.”

“To restore a hundred year old family home in Bluffton SC is a daunting and massive undertaking. An experience that novices could not undertake. In walks Brian Felder, Architect from Savannah. In his quiet, confident manner Brian took over assuming responsibility for every detail and always on call for consultation. The planning stage took a year with everything from an as built drawing to the final plan and all that takes place in between. In the end, Brian Felder provided us with a restored home that is a gem in Bluffton. Painstaking planned, our home, The Pine House, is a model for what can be accomplished with an experienced Architect grounded in planning with the owner’s best interest at heart. Joan Heyward”

“Tom Parker was a delight to work with. He listened to our needs, incorporated our ideas into a wonderful plan. We also hired Tom to oversee the construction of our home. Tom is a true professional. We would not hesitate to recommend Tom.”

“Gerry designed our home in 2007/08. We added onto the kitchen in 2011 and added bedrooms in 2012 and Gerry did both of these as well. Originally we did not realize we would need the added space so it was our choice to start small. Our home is on beautiful family property and Gerry's designs and construction guidelines always respected the surroundings of our home which is very important to us. He has also helped us tremendously with contractor negotiations and making sure the integrity of our home was not compromised. We love our home and are grateful to Gerry for the work he has done for us.”

“Same great design services with over 30 years of residential and commercial design experience. But now on the east coast too!”

“Sam's ability to design and "think outside the box" of the Lowcountry vernacular made our project both successful and enjoyable. Our relationship during the design phase became a special collaborative experience. With my background in residential interior design, I brought the initial concept that Sam molded into a dream home. He was attentive, professional, patient and particularly focused with us on all the small details that made our finished home a dream come true.”
