Our founder, Steve Goggans, is an architect based in the South Carolina Lowcountry with more than 4 decades of design experience.

With over four decades of experience in the building industry, Slade brings a seasoned perspective to every project. His background highlights leadership roles with regional and national builders, directing project management and land development and fostering strong partnerships with clients, vendors, architects, and engineers.
