Architectural firms to show creative designs

Some of the most creative residential designs from 12 Charleston architectural firms will be showcased at the Custom Home + Remodel Show on Aug. 22-24.

The architecture exhibit is sponsored by Charleston Home + Design Magazine and the Charleston Chapter of the American Institute of Architects.

The Architects' Gallery of Custom Homes, as the exhibit is called, will include thousands of photographs and descriptions of finished homes.

The gallery will be on the third floor of the show, which will be held Aug. 22-24 at the Gaillard Auditorium. Images of the residences will be displayed on large television monitors for easy viewing, and the architects who designed the homes will be available for questions.

The participating architecture firms include Camens Architectural Group, Christopher Rose Architects, Cobb Architects, Stephen Herlong & Associates, LFK Architects, Red Charrette Architects, R.L. Moutz Architecture, Rosenblum Coe Architects, Schmitt Walker Architects, Spivey & Woods Architects, Thomas & Denzinger Architects and Wayne Windham Architect.
