Below are a list of awards that my firm, Clark-Glidewell/Architect has received for specific projects, or awards that Shelley Clark-Glidewell received personally.

Most Influential Architects, Builders & Interior Designers

Charleston Home + Design Magazine (2009)

This award is an annual award given to 10 architects, 10 builders and 10 interior designers in the low-country area.  Charleston Home + Design Magazine showcase their work and designs in their annual Spring issue.  The Idea House at 2 Parrothead Lane, Charleston was the entry that was the stepping stone to this award.  For more detailed photographs of the Idea House please go to the New construction tab on the Home Page. 

120 Parkwood Avenue

Charleston Regional Business Journal Pace Award (2005)

The design was to add a pleasing addition to this wonderful Spanish Revival Home for a Master Bath Suite.  The design is very Asian and has Arts & Crafts detailing. More detail about this project can be found under the Renovations tab on the home page. This merit award in residential design is given for teamwork between architect, contractor, subcontractors and the owner.   As with all projects, you have to work with a reliable team.  Liberty Construction and Clark-Glidewell/Architect have worked together on many projects and this one came together as a prize winning entry.  The design was a combination of the love of natural materials of the homeowner and the architect.  The architect, homeowner, contractor,and subcontractors were able to work together to provide the final design in actual form, from the spatial cove lit ceilings down to the bamboo detailing.

Hampton Park Terrace Historic District

Robert N.S. & Patti Foos Whitelaw Founders Award

This award was given to Hampton Park Terrace and Shelley Clark-Glidewell for their work in completing the Hampton Park Terrace Historic District. Neighborhood volunteers who raised funds through home tours and garage sales completed the historic district project. These funds were used to hire a consulting firm, Preservation Consultants, Inc, to complete the required documents for the state. Hampton Park Terrace became a historic district in September 1997 and the award was given in 1998.  For more information on this project please refer to the Published Articles tab on the Home Page. 

awards

                                       Carolopolis Award


The Carolopolis award is a plaque placed on buildings that have been preserved, restored, rehabilitated, or are outstanding examples of new construction. The award is given to those individuals, businesses or organizations that own the property. The Carolopolis Award is a slightly modified reproduction of the city of Charleston. The word Carolopolis comes from the original name of the city, which was derived from a combination of the word Carolus, which is Latin for Charles, and Polis, which is Greek for City, thus Charles City and later Charleston. The word Condita A.D. 1670 refers to the Latin word for founding, and to the date of Charleston’s founding. The other date on the award refers to the year in which the award was given. 

Below is a representation of the transformation a house undergoes to obtain the coveted Carolopolis Award.  Clark-Glidewell/Architect has received two awards in this category,

Before   After

*Award Presented in 1997

491 Huger Street is an Arts & Crafts style bungalow built in 1920. Its Japanese-influenced round-end barge boards on the front and rear facades and the wide eave overhangs designed to eliminate the need for gutters distinguish the house. The restoration program included replacing many of the barge rafters, opening a previously enclosed porch, removal of gutters and downspouts, replacing second story siding with appropriate cedar shakes, and repairing and repainting the exterior stucco. The work program was developed by  Ms. Shelley Clark-Glidewell, architect, and completed by Ms. Clark-Glidewell and her husband, Bill Glidewell.
