Molten/Lamar approaches architectural design with individual attention to a client's lifestyle, vision, and needs - foremost, recognition of the need of clients to express themselves and their ideas in the project design. Architecture is a collaborative process - collaboration between Richard Molten / Dick Lamar and each client on a particular project.
Capturing a project's essence, valuing clients' input, and being sensitive to time and place has helped the firm shape truly original designs for residential, adaptive re-use, and commercial clients alike; clients appreciate this attention to their values, in both the process and the completed project. At Molten/Lamar, architecture designs grow from a deep understanding of the regional traditions of the southeastern United States.
Both partners, natives of South Carolina and graduates of Clemson University's College of Architecture, recognize the particular requirements of our climate and our rich architectural traditions. Attention is given to outdoors spaces, terraces, and porches to extend living spaces to the outdoors.

This new nine-unit townhouse project, inserted into the heart of Charleston's historic district, is on East Bay Street across from Rainbow Row.
The 3200-3600 square foot, three-bedroom units are organized on three levels above a garage/basement level.
The units are oriented to sidewalk entrances along the perimeter streets and to the view of the waterfront across an interior court.
On the three East Bay Street units that directly face the waterfront, the plan organization is inverted with the living areas one level up from the entry to maximize the view potential.

The Forest Lake Club was faced with the task of updating their existing tennis clubhouse.
Limited area on the site was available for the clubhouse between the existing tennis courts, which had been built at different grade levels.
The club also needed to keep the tennis courts in use during construction.
In answer to these constraints, and to work within a limited budget, the decision was made to design the new clubhouse on the foundation / footprint of the existing facility.
The design of the tennis club followed the context set by the existing golf buildings on the site, with white painted brick, arch openings, flat roof, and dark bronze aluminum windows frames.
