Schmitt Sampson Walker, Inc. is a Charleston, South Carolina based architectural firm that has been honored with numerous national and regional design awards, and with critical appraisal of its work. The design philosophy of Schmitt Sampson Walker is based upon appropriateness of design to context, directness and economy of means and careful tailoring of the architectural expression to the needs of the client, the program and the budget. Because each of the firm's completed works responds to different natural, cultural and architectural surroundings, each has it's own distinctive identity. While the firm's work has been widely recognized as innovative and eloquent, it is also true that most of the firm's buildings have been produced within tightly managed budgets. The quality of the firm's service is documented by the durability and ease of maintenance of its buildings, its record for cost control and scheduling performance, and by its client's ongoing satisfaction.
