Swallowtail Architecture
And we ask great questions! We ask questions to uncover what will make you feel like you're living in your dream home. We want to understand what brings you joy. How is happiness defined for you. We then listen and even listen below the surface because designing a home to fulfill these needs is personal.

Each client is unique and the vision each family has for their home and the life they want to live within the home is different. It is our mission to help you discover your vision and to translate it into the design of your Lowcountry home. To design a truly custom home, the one that you will pinch yourself everyday because you can't believe your dream has come true only happens by active listening.
Services
Swallowtail Architecture specializes in designing homes that are the perfect compliment to the vision you have for your life in the South Carolina Lowcountry. Whether you are looking at a new build or considering a whole house, major renovation, Swallowtail's process of active listening is focused on creating a custom home design that is unique to you with stunning, one-of-a-kind details.
Swallowtail Architecture is a full service architectural firm serving the South Carolina Barrier Islands of Sullivan's Island, Isle of Palms, Kiawah Island, Daniel Island and the Lowcountry area around Charleston, South Carolina including Summerville, Mount Pleasant, and West Ashley. Led by architect Rachel Burton, we specialize in a wide range of residential, commercial, and public sector projects.
Our residential design portfolio encompasses a vast array of project types in a variety of locations, but our objective remains the same: to understand and ultimately translate your vision into a finished product that exceeds even your own dreams.

Swallowtail's portfolio of projects include the design of custom new homes, historic restorations, whole house renovations, additions, and commercial projects in the best parts of the Lowcountry including Sullivan's Island, Summerville and Mount Pleasant, Kiawah Island, Daniel Island, and Seabrook Island, and in Isle of Palms in the Historic Charleston area.
So much in architecture depends on the right fit. The way the design fits the landscape. The way the building fits the use. And the way a room fits the people who live in it. Getting the right fit takes a rare combination of consultation and vision. For me, each home is a beautiful gem. Each needs the perfect setting and fit, both for the owners and for the landscape on which the home sits.
We are passionate about helping people design custom living spaces that let them enjoy the beauty of our local landscape. Our designs are client focused and our approach is to listen to how clients want to live in their dream home. We are Woman-Owned and Woman-Operated. Led by Architect, Rachel Burton, we are a woman-owned and woman-operated business.
