When building homes in a beautiful setting, homeowners
and many architects focus on the outdoors and bringing
them in. Marc Camens, principal and founder of Camens
Architectural Group, chooses to build homes in the
opposite way, and the results are absolutely spectacular.
Marc builds homes from the inside out by first learning
about how his clients live, rather than developing a
laundry list of rooms and features. He learns how they
eat, entertain, cook, relax, and work at home. Then he
considers the site and adapts the floorplan—based on
the owners' lifestyles—to the site to integrate the two.
Finally, he builds the exterior around the plan to envelop
it. According to Marc, when an architect builds in the
opposite way—taking the exterior into consideration
first—they risk stuffing the interiors with rooms that the
owners do not need.
It is with this approach in mind that Marc leads his team
of architects to build distinctive residences that are
classically Southern and immediately feel like home.
Homeowners are guided through every step of the design
and building process, and love watching their visions
come to life. Fine details, from intricate millwork and
decorative columns that transition one between spaces, to
leaded glass accents and even accent lighting in kitchen
cabinetry, are taken into account by the architects of
Camens Architectural Group. The homes that result are
breathtaking, well-built, and memorable, holding true to
the firm's unofficial slogan: listen to your dreams and we'll
listen to you.
