Herlong Architects is a full-service architecture and interior design firm based in Charleston, SC, specializing in custom coastal home design. Each of our projects represents a design solution created for a specific site, often in the context of dramatic vistas and the comforting sanctuary of nature, that blends the seams between home and surroundings.
The beauty that defines each home is planned with the valuable input of our clients, and as such, reflects their unique character and style. From the Lowcountry of the Carolina coast to the hillsides and beaches of the Caribbean, our homes play as one with the beauty of the surrounding landscape.
The diversity of talent among our architects and designers contributes to a highly collaborative creative process, with the singular goal of creating homes that simply belong.Just as the specific site for your home should be incorporated during the design process, so too should the interiors of your home.

Great architecture, like our house, is kind and reassuring to its surroundings and its inhabitants. Unobtrusively, it just belongs there, just as it is. We've come to adopt our client, Frank Middleton's words as a guiding principle. At Herlong Architects our goal is to set ourselves apart through our pursuit of perfection in architecture and interior design, and the entire conduct of our business.
Whether you are building a new home or renovating an existing one, before we begin designing we take a thorough study of the site and all variables that could impact the design. We determine the sun path, wind patterns and views to find the best siting for the home and consider any existing conditions or requirements specific to your lot.
We're a diverse group of architects and interior designers, each with unique talents and points of view that we bring to every project. We do share some things in common: a love for life by the water, for our families, and for the collaborative creative process that goes on every day in our own little design house by the ocean.

Steve and his team have developed a reputation for designing a signature style when it comes to coastal homes. This reputation for excellence and elegance, along with our own firsthand experience in seeing the finished product, is what motivated us to contact him when we began the process of building our beachfront home. From walking the site, to understanding our needs, and the "bedside manner" they had in the many frequent touchpoints along the way, Steve and his team developed and delivered an amazing design that captured the unique characteristics of our site, and the eye of many a passerby

As a builder, I like to get involved early in the design phase and Steve Herlong and his team of Architects and Interior Designers are a pleasure to work closely with. I have worked with Steve for many years and he is one of the best! The team's attention to detail and creativity can be seen in all of their work and I would highly recommend Herlong & Associates to anyone looking to create their dream home!

We hired Steve Herlong and his staff to design our first custom home 12 years ago and to renovate our 1950's beach house 6 years ago. In both cases it was a fantastic experience. Steve has such an amazing eye for details, he HEARS what you want and creates a masterpiece with those ideas. His interiors team made our old beach house feel NEW again, but selected colors, cabinetry and fixtures to compliment the style we loved! We could not have created either of these amazing homes without the help of such a talented staff!

I was first introduced to Steve Herlong and his firm, Herlong and Associates, over 10 years ago. In that time we have worked together on a number of projects. Steve, Jim and the team of architects and designers they’ve assembled are excellent at what they do. Not only are they hugely talented but they are fun to work with and consummate professionals. They design beautiful homes and support them with detailed plans from which to build. If you are looking to build a high end home in Charleston, be sure you talk to Herlong and Associates.

We could not be more pleased with the home that Steve and his team designed for us. And he is surely pleased, too, because our home won both local and regional architectural awards. The process was a pleasure. And 13 years later, our home retains a timeless beauty. So often we hear the boaters as they go by in the creek, "Oh! what a beautiful house

I am a builder who has had the pleasure of working with Herlong & Associates on several projects, including my own personal residence. I have always found their entire organization to be very professional, creative, and responsive to an owner's desires or to the builder's needs. Their interior design team beautifully complements the talents of the architectural group. Their attention to detail is impeccable. I highly recommend Herlong & Associates to anyone planning to build a new custom home or to upgrade an existing home.
