Frederick + Frederick Architects

For over 35 years, we’ve specialized in creating custom homes that celebrate the unique character of the Lowcountry while performing beautifully in hot, humid climates. Whether you’re planning your retirement dream home or relocating to enjoy the pace and beauty of coastal life, we help you bring that vision to life—thoughtfully, sustainably, and with a deep respect for place. Founded in 1989 by Jane and Michael Frederick, our Beaufort-based firm offers full-service architecture—from first sketches to move-in day. Every project begins by listening carefully to your lifestyle, values, and aspirations. Together, we craft indoor and outdoor spaces that enhance everyday living—capturing views, welcoming sea breezes, and supporting your connection to nature. Our work has earned numerous awards and been featured in This Old House, Southern Living, The Wall Street Journal, and Metropolitan Home. In 2024, we published Contemporary Southern Vernacular: Creating Sustainable Houses for Hot, Humid Climates—a guide for designing timeless homes that respond to climate, culture, and craft. If you’re ready to build a one-of-a-kind home rooted in Southern tradition and built for modern life, we’d love to hear your story.
