TMD Architects

We originally asked for ideas and designs for a small renovation of a bath and quilting studio room. Due to our location in a flood zone, and FEMA/County code requirements we could not get a permit for anything short of bringing the entire 1961 structure up to 2015 building codes. We went through several attempts to design and obtain approval on raising the structure... But replacement became the only reasonable action.
TMD Architects walked us through the entire process of several design options and trying to get a renovation approved. They gave us very considerate pricing for the eventual design and construction oversight of an entirely new structure, given the hurdles that we had attempted to jump together. The principal, Trevor Draper, worked diligently in the difficult tasks of zoning and permitting -- from our early renovation hopes, to the final design and construction of the new home.
The home itself is stunning. It is certainly the nicest space in which we've resided. Trevor guided our hand in the design with kind, courteous, yet informed and at times appropriately firm advice. All of the details of the finished home were a delight to see - and many are attributable to TMD's experience and fine taste - we simply would not have known to specify the form and quality that TMD Architects created. TMD certainly saved us from some errors in our judgement and taste, yet kindly yielded in a few cases where we were insistent on some aspect.
In all, we worked together for over two years from original inquiries through design and occupancy.
We could not be happier with our new home. And, we miss the regular dealings with TMD Architects!

Recently purchased a small beach cottage on Isle of Palms and was referred to Trevor by another architect that I knew in Charleston.  I live out of state and had to do this project long distance.  I found Trevor to be a great architect and his ideas and suggestions made all the difference in our cottage.  He would email me drawings while making suggestions for other things we should consider and his expertise made the renovation go very smoothly.  He worked well with the general contractor; Commonwealth Contracting LLC.  He was very timely and his pricing was reasonable.  I highly recommend him the quality of his work was excellent.  So many times we think we have to have a large project or cannot afford an architect.  Trust me, it will be the best money you spend regardless of the size of your project.
