Formerly Schmitt Walker Architects We are an award winning 34+ year old architecture firm located in Charleston, SC with a focus on creative, contextual design solutions. The design philosophy of Walker Concepts is based upon appropriateness of design to context, directness and economy of means and careful tailoring of the architectural expression to the needs of the client, the program and the budget. Because each of the firm's completed projects responds to different natural, cultural and architectural surroundings, each has its own distinctive identity. While the firm's work has been widely recognized as innovative and eloquent, it is also true that most of the firm's buildings have been produced within tightly managed budgets. The quality of our body of work is a reflection of the quality of our clients.
