Donald G. Chapman was one of nine first year architecture graduates of the Savannah College of Art and Design. In 1994 he founded Chapman Design Group, Inc., a small firm specializing in the architecture, renovation, and interior design of fine homes in the states of South Carolina and Georgia. To date, Chapman Design Group has developed nearly 450 homes, each ranging between 1,500-18,000 square feet.
The company focuses on developing their clients’ personal styles instead of imposing a signature design aesthetic. For each project undertaken, the team at Chapman Design Group wants the result to boast of unique character. They accomplish this by valuing a thoughtful development process to create quality designs, configure every detail, and manage construction while adhering to every need and desire their client communicates to them. This allows the team to put personal touches on each space designed, and to promote positive, long-lasting connections with their clients.
Their focus on customer relationships has certainly paid off, because more than 50% of the projects that they’ve completed have been for repeat clients. Even beyond that, their success in designing private homes for loyal clients have led to creative opportunities to design a variety of commercial projects including office spaces, hospitality venues, religious buildings, multi-family homes, government buildings, and even adaptive reuse projects.
When we spoke to Chapman Design Group about their intentions in the design industry as a company, they responded with this: “Whether our project is situated on a very small lot or on a vast acreage, we are proud to have a reputation of designing projects that truly reflect our client’s needs, desires, and budget all while focusing on expressing their personality.” Over the years, Chapman Design Group has lived out that vision, and they continue to please clients in SC, GA, and beyond.
