FULL SERVICE ARCHITECTURAL & INTERIOR DESIGN STUDIO

DESIGNING YOUR DREAM IS OUR PASSION
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. We believe that a collaborative approach between the owner, architect and interior designer is essential to achieving the seamless blend of form, function and style that creates a truly timeless home and makes the process of designing and building it a pleasure. Offering architecture and interior design services under one roof at Herlong Architects allows us to provide you the opportunity to do just that.
But don’t just take our word for it…
Having the interior designer work so closely (literally!) with the architect was invaluable to ensuring the project went smoothly.
-K. Richardson
The Herlong team was with us for every aspect of the project - from clean-sheet-of-paper conceptual design, to detailed architectural and interior design and plans, through construction, furnishing and move-in. They were fantastic in every regard, and it was great to have both Architectural and Interior design experts from one team working together in a coordinated and integrated manner.

Strongly recommended, full service, creative, problem solvers.
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
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!
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 love seeing a set of plans from Herlong & Associates come across our desk, their attention to detail and the quality of their designs always make for a project we are proud to be a part of! It's also always a pleasure to work with Steve and his entire firm.
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.
I could never have imagined a more beautiful homecoming. The fabrics were perfect, the entry foyer amazing, layout perfect, most of all the mix of elegant and relaxed made it the perfect balance of beauty and comfort. Thank you Theresa and Sara for your hard work and beautiful interior design!
I highly recommend Herlong and Associates! The entire process, from conception to completion, was a wonderful journey. They are highly creative professionals and are a pleasure to work with. I now have my dream home down to the very last detail.
Steve and his staff designed a house that went above and beyond my wildest expectations. I am as happy with it today as I was the day we moved in. It was a great pleasure to work with Herlong and Associates.
We chose Steve Herlong and his team to conceive, design and project manage the creation of our dream home on Kiawah Island. The Herlong team was with us for every aspect of the project - from clean-sheet-of-paper conceptual design, to detailed architectural and interior design and plans, through construction, furnishing and move-in. The Herlong team was fantastic in every regard, and it was great to have both Architectural and Interior design experts from one team working together in a coordinated and integrated manner.
We loved working with the Herlong team. Everyone was professional, talented and hard working. Our questions were always answered immediately which was important to us since we were often out of state during the process. They served not only as our eyes and ears but also our hearts.
Working with Herlong & Associates could not have gone more smoothly. They seem to know what I wanted before I did. They were able to articulate the ideas we had into real plans for our home. If we were to build a house again, we would definitely use them again.
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!
Jim,I wanted to write you a note to thank you for designing and working with us to build our new home. You and your people at Herlong did outstanding work. James was always available to answer Patti and my questions and to help us achieve what we wanted in our new home. Your people were so professional and helpful, it was the definition of southern hospitality. You definitely took a lot of the stress out of the experience. Thank you so much for helping us have a home that we will enjoy with family and friends for a very long time.
Beautiful Coastal home plans at an incredibly reasonable price from one of the most accomplished architecture firms in SC. If you are thinking about building a home in the Low Country I highly recommend you have a look at these home plans first.
We met with Steve multiple times so that he could design our retirement dream home overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway. His reputation for designing fabulous houses that overlook the water proved true for us. We were very pleased with the plans, had the house built, and are enjoying the benefits of his foresight
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. The outcome has been nothing but a joy. Their foresight and attention to every last detail has made our new home an unforgettable experience. We couldn't be more pleased - or have found a better partner!
