Reviews of Tyler A. Smyth Architect, LLC (Architect)

Dean Goodwin

Working with Tyler was a very positive experience. He is creative and has great attention to detail. He spent time with us to learn our likes and dislikes, then took our dreams and made them reality while at the same time giving us ideas of things we had not considered. Our contractor, who had not previously worked with Tyler, was also impressed with his quick response to questions and his creative ability.

Worked with Tyler to create a "grandkid's room" in an unfinished attic space in our home. He was easy to work with and provided us with several creative design options. The end result blends with our house well, including on the outside, makes great use of the space, and most important- is loved by our granddaughter! Our contractor also liked the attention to detail, which made their work easier too.

Tyler Smyth did a phenomenal job transforming our 80’s Kiawah Island house into a dream home. His vision, artistic eye, easy personality, and architectural talents were the perfect blend of partnership for us. His attention and eye for detail was integral to the success of our project. Tyler was also respectful of our budget, and helped to value engineer the project into something that was do-able for us. He got to know us and each member of the family, to make sure the functionality of the house was matched to us and maximized. All in all, a successful venture and adventure! We highly recommend this highly talented architect who transformed a very 80’s beach house into a beautiful home that is perfection to us!

I purchased a lot with two houses on it in downtown Charleston. One of the houses needed renovation, and the other needed to be demolished and a new structure erected on exactly the same footprint, so as to comply with City of Charleston regulations. I watched Tyler Smyth apply his architectural skills and expertise, exercise his attention to detail, utilize his knowledge of Charleston, and demonstrate habits of outstanding follow though to bring me a small architectural marvel. I hold no reservations in recommending Tyler Smyth as professional architect; his commitment to civic values and his congenial personality are also noteworthy and admirable.

Tyler Smyth was the architect for the renovation and addition that was done on my house. His work and creativity in design is superb. The house is unrecognizable from before the renovation and we could not be more pleased. Tyler's vision and creativity tackled quite a challenge made something truly remarkable.

My wife, Ruth, and I are completely satisfied with the architectural services Tyler provided. He took a jumble of features he patiently elicited from us and turned them into the most beautiful and functional house we could have possibly imagined. We built our house from 600 miles away, but with Tyler was on the job regularly ensuring things were going according to plan, our project progressed very smoothly. On the few occasions when things did not go smoothly (which is inevitable on any large scale building project), Tyler artfully walked the line between being a strong advocate for our interests and not alienating the builder. We moved into our lovely home in September 2016; we could not be happier with the result. As a bonus, Tyler has all the charm and respectful demeanor that you would expect from a Southern Gentleman. We were privileged to spend some time with his beautiful family, wife Michele (who does his billings and is herself an Architect) and his two young children. If you have the opportunity to have Tyler as your Architect, do not hesitate to put him on your job. He will definitely make your dream home come true.

Tyler is totally a professional. He is always prepared and so easy to deal with. His knowledge and versatility is amazing. One should be so lucky to work with him on any project-large or small.

Working with Tyler on the design of our house was a wonderful experience! Not only did the exterior of the house turn out to look much better than I imagined, but the interior also exceeds my expectations. Our "home" is delightfully livable. During the design process, Tyler was flexible and met my many requests for changes with a wonderful, accepting attitude. We often stopped by to measure the day's progress only to find Tyler on-site, making sure all was running smoothly. He was sincere in his interest in all aspects and details of the project. Tyler is highly talented, capable, well-organized and remarkably efficient. Hire him!! You will not be disappointed!

I hired Tyler to oversee the historic renovation of three buildings on Broad St with excellent results. His knowledge of the planning and approval process, and his artistic sense, combined with commercial judgement made him an outstanding partner to work with. I look forward to our next project.

I had privilege of hiring Tyler Smyth to design our custom home on Wadmalaw Island. During the design process Tyler was very receptive and attentive to our needs and wants. After several site visits we were able to select the appropriate building site on our property that fit every want we had. He was able to incorporate both our lifestyle within the home as well as our desires for the exterior appearance and function in the natural surroundings. The level of detail was unmatched! As a builder myself, I was incredibly satisfied with every phase of the design process. I highly recommend Tyler if you are looking for a personalized custom experience!
