Donald Gardner is My Favorite Architect

As a custom home builder, I constantly meet with clients looking for the "perfect" floor plan when deciding to build their dream home. Customers who might be looking for 3,000 square foot home with two master bedroom suites or a floor plan with a full 1,000 square foot walk out basement.
Some folks search online for days, sometimes weeks, to find that unique plan for their custom home. A design that fits their needs and highlights the house's features which are timeless.
Quite often our clients get loss for a week or two during this process of picking a floor plan. Others might take a month or two to find their house design.
Don't get frustrated. This can be a daunting task and a search can be overwhelming considering there are over 100,000 floor plans listed online. And, it can even be more difficult to agree on a specific floor plan with their spouse. Good luck with compromise.
After building 32 custom homes and looking at over 1,300 floor plans, I finally came to the simple conclusion that Donald A. Gardner is my favorite architect. Period.
His work is well known and his passion for craftsman style homes is obvious when you see his work. He is, hands down, my go to architect for anyone looking to build a custom home.
Donald Gardner is nationally recognized for his talents and interests lay in residential design, Don saw a need for better designed, more livable homes that would meet families' changing needs and busier lifestyles.
With this dream his primary focus, Don founded Donald A. Gardner Architects, Inc. in 1978. By 1984, Don was able to commit his attention to the firm on a full-time basis. Through his experience and insight, Don has grown his architectural firm into several successful companies that have provided career opportunities for many in the Greenville community.
Under his leadership, his firm has brought national recognition to South Carolina as well as local suppliers, individuals, and businesses through articles in the firm's national publications as well as other consumer publications.
