What Goff D’Antonio Associates does

Goff D'Antonio Associates is a privately held architecture and design firm founded in 1991 and headquartered in Charleston, South Carolina. The firm provides planning, architectural, and interior design services across the full project lifecycle — from pre-design feasibility and programming through schematic design, construction documentation, construction administration, and post-occupancy services. Service offerings also include interior architecture, master planning and urban design, and LEED consulting / sustainable design. Core technology consists of Revit Building Information Modeling combined with traditional hand sketching, which the firm uses to explore design options interactively with clients.

The firm serves a diversified institutional client base across multiple verticals, with education (K-12 and higher education), senior living, and hospitality as primary segments, complemented by healthcare, government, mixed-use, religious, retail, and residential work. Notable clients include Charleston County School District, Mason Preparatory School, Ashley Hall, Charleston Southern University, Germain Dermatology, HarbourView Inn, City of Charleston Parks Department, and Vanguard Development Group LLC. Geographic operations are anchored in Charleston but have expanded into Summerville, Mount Pleasant, North Charleston, Savannah, Skidaway Island, Clemson, Charlotte, Columbia, and Nashville.

The business model is fee-based professional services delivered through direct client engagement, with project-specific pricing tied to scope and complexity. Marketing is driven by portfolio visibility, a website with downloadable project brochures, LinkedIn and Facebook presence, industry award recognition (AIA, CEFPI, Preservation Society of Charleston, Boutique Design Gold Key, GSA, Coastal Living), and referrals from repeat institutional clients. The firm is founder-owned and operated by R. Garey Goff and Henry D'Antonio, Jr., with Anthony G. Giuliani as Associate Principal, and maintains a small studio of 11–50 employees at a renovated warehouse in Charleston's upper King Street Design District.

Direct peers

• LS3P Associates: Mid-size Southeast-headquartered architecture firm with offices across the Carolinas and broader region. Directly comparable to Goff D'Antonio in scale, multi-sector practice (education, healthcare, civic, commercial), and regional operating model that competes for many of the same institutional clients in Charleston and the Carolinas.
• Historical Concepts: Architecture firm with a national hospitality, resort, and mixed-use practice but explicit Southeast roots. Comparable in hospitality and contextual-design positioning, particularly relevant given Goff D'Antonio's award-winning boutique-hotel portfolio.
• Boudreaux Group: Charleston-based architecture practice with comparable firm size and a strong focus on residential, hospitality, and contextual design in the Lowcountry. Directly competes for the same boutique-hotel and custom-residential commissions in the Charleston market.
• Shepley Bulfinch: Architecture firm with a strong higher-education and healthcare practice and prior project partnership with Goff D'Antonio (Ashley Hall Media Center). Comparable in education-sector expertise and shared institutional client base.
• Cooper Robertson: Architecture and planning firm with prior project partnership with Goff D'Antonio (Charleston Visitor's Center with NBBJ). Comparable in civic/institutional typology and design-quality positioning, though typically operating at a larger project scale.
• Stevens & Wilkinson / Columbia: Southeast-based architecture and engineering firm with strong K-12, higher education, and civic practice across the Carolinas and Georgia. Comparable regional mid-size firm competing in similar public-sector and institutional markets.
• McMillan Pazdan Smith (now Page Southeast): Architecture firm with deep Southeast roots that historically served K-12, higher education, healthcare, and senior-living clients across South Carolina and Georgia. Highly comparable in vertical mix, geographic footprint, and mid-market firm positioning to Goff D'Antonio.
• David M. Schwarz Architects: Architecture firm with a strong specialty practice in civic, hospitality, and contextual design. Comparable to Goff D'Antonio in mixed-use/hospitality project type and design-led positioning in the Southeast.

Broad incumbents

• NBBJ: Large global architecture and design firm where Goff D'Antonio's founders previously led the South Carolina office. Competes for major institutional commissions (healthcare, education, civic) in the same Charleston/SE market at the upper end of project scale.
