About us
Available job listings can be found here, https://bit.ly/2P0Yvns Novus Architects took shape in 1992 – with one architect working for one new client. Strong, long-term relationships are the heart of what we do, and we never take for granted the trust clients place in us to listen intently to their needs, craft a custom process, gather a team with the right skills and passions – and together, bring to life spaces that serve people. Every day, we take our diverse interests and collective experiences and put them to work in wholly new ways – again and again. Because while we may carry the title of architect, planner, or designer, we see ourselves as consultants with an architectural perspective. The truth is, we do our best work when we challenge the notions of what an architect, designer, or planner can or should do and step beyond traditional roles to create new, unique processes that bring simplicity and clarity to the most complex projects. To build highly functional, beautiful spaces: medical facilities that nurture both physician and family, schools that inspire and engage both children and teacher, community centers that invite both dialogue and worship, is to constantly study how people move in and through spaces, how design influences human interaction, discovery, and deep connection. For us, that lifelong study is, like people themselves, always new, always challenging, and ever changing. So we focus on process, priorities, details, and communication. We embrace ingenuity, collaboration, and adaptation, because for us, a space is more than any hospital, school, or house of worship, it’s an always-new way of connecting and serving people.

After first joining Novus in 1999—then known as SGM Architects—Paul Fields later stepped away to serve as Chief Building Official for the Town of McClellanville and worked alongside a structural engineer as a registered roof observer. He returned to Novus with a wealth of experience that elevated our quality control and code expertise. Paul has been an integral part of our story from the early days, and while we’re sad to see him go, we’re grateful for his many contributions and excited for what lies ahead for him. Happy retirement, Paul!

In late June, the 11th annual Tour de Llama bike ride took place in beautiful Yadkin County, NC. Hosted by Divine Llama Vineyards and our friends at Samaritan Ministries, West & Stem (A Novus Architects Company) was a proud sponsor for this great event that fosters an even greater cause. 275 cyclists trekked through scenic routes to support Samaritan Ministries and their community dedication, raising over $60K to provide food, shelter, and hope for neighbors in need.

Blending timeless Lowcountry charm with a modern design aesthetic, the hotel will feature curated art, flexible event space, and amenities tailored to today’s traveler.
