We find great joy in a job well done but even more from knowing we’ve exceeded your expectations. Explore the testimonials below to hear from real Coastal Creek Design clients on their experience with our team.
I'm a general contractor that has worked with a lot of architects and engineers, and Coastal Creek was one of the best experiences I've had.
I was involved early on in the design phase and I was able to see how they work and they are a well oiled machine. They operate quickly and efficiently.
The project was an addition on Daniel Island. We had to go through the Design Review Board. They were very familiar with the entire process and all of the local ordinances; We had no issues with their review.
The plans were very thorough as well, we had no issues with building plans review with the City of Charleston. Would strongly recommend.

In a search for an architect to draw up plans to enclose my upstairs porch, I was fortunate to find Brian Wells and his talented team at Coastal Creek Design. I live in I'ON so the fact that the Coastal Creek team knew the rules and regulations of the very strict I'ON Design Committee and guided me to a design that I loved and would be approved by the IDC was not only a win/win but hastened the cost of the design process. Brian, Joel, Karol & the rest of this group have the experience in sound architectural & engineering design and are a pleasure to work with. They are prepared at meetings and display thoughtful design ideas and can make changes to the drawings that are shown on the screen which resulted in immediate satisfaction for me the client. I highly recommend Coastal Creek Design- they are a team of excellence!
It has been a great experience working with Leo and Joel. Their expertise has made designing our home a lot of fun!
We hired Coastal Creek to handle the architectural and engineering plans for our apartment project. They were fantastic to work with! The entire team really listened to what we needed and delivered everything accurately and on time. What stood out most were the creative solutions they came up with - things we never would have considered. They were incredibly friendly and made what could’ve been a complicated process feel easy and straightforward. Highly recommend!
Coastal Creek Design provided a very cohesive process for designing a renovation for my home. Brian took the lead on assessing my project and then connecting me with Lauren and Joel for the bulk of the project. Their team took precise measurements and photos at my home before I got down to work with Joel and Lauren on the actual design. Lauren is a pro at bringing the ideas to life with the CAD design software so that I could see our ideas and progress in real time during the design meetings. That really simplified the process of trying out ideas and finding the best way to move forward. This was a serious time-saver! Joel brings the knowledge from countless architectural projects into the design meetings which translates to thoughtful real-time decisions. I truly appreciated the fresh creative ideas that Lauren was able to bring to the table, especially when we were stuck at one point in the design. From a communication standpoint, I found the entire group very accessible and responsive. We primarily used email for communication. I also appreciated that they were able to accommodate my schedule for meetings. I will definitely turn to Coast Creek for design projects in the future and recommend considering them for any project.
Top notch staff. Extremely professional in every aspect of the design. The team led by Leonardo makes the process as easy as possible. Couldn’t recommend them enough for those performing renovations or making additions.
The team at Coastal Creek Design was incredible to work with. They were incredibly responsive, provided ideas outside of the specific scope around process to accomplish our dream and gave us great ideas. Leonardo and Joel were so helpful throughout each phase and very flexible with us to help us "figure it all out." Brian has great relationships throughout the community to help with other needs required to complete an addition/remodel - we are so grateful for all their guidance!!
We've had multiple projects with the amazing team at Coastal Creek Design for our retreat on John's Island. Can't recommend them highly enough! Professional, friendly, creative, and efficient.
We had a five star experience working with Steisy and the team at Coastal Creek Design. Their team was creative, responsive, and open to collaboration. The designs were both beautiful and functional, and the entire process felt smooth. Highly recommend for anyone looking for thoughtful, high-quality work!
