McDonald Architects is a Charleston-based residential architecture firm led by Chad D. McDonald, AIA, LEED AP. The firm designs highly original luxury custom homes across Kiawah Island, Seabrook Island, Daniel Island, Johns Island, James Island, Charleston, and the wider Carolina Lowcountry. Named to Forbes’ Top 200 Residential Architects in 2025, McDonald Architects creates homes shaped by the needs of each family and the character of each property.
Its design philosophy begins with listening: understanding how clients want to live, what they want their home to feel like, and what the land offers. The firm draws on local landscape and architectural traditions, from coastal shingle cottages and marshside homes to Charleston’s historic streetscapes. Rather than applying a single style, it aims to create a distinct expression for every family and site.
Services span the full residential design process, including property analysis and programming, schematic design, design development, interior architecture and selections, construction documents, and construction observation.
