ABOUT

Adam Roark, AIA, NCARB

Background

Above all else, Adam is a Christian, husband, and father of two. Located in Columbia, SC, he received his Master of Architecture degree from Clemson University in 2014 with a specialization in “Digital Ecologies”. He brings an expertise in using technology combined with traditional principles to achieve beautiful and simple solutions for the most complex design problems. While he is a natural information sponge with a passion for learning, it is the sharing and discussion of information and ideas where he finds the most joy.

Raised by small business owners in Florence SC, Adam has also spent significant time studying in the Upstate, and several years working in the Low Country. Now located in the Midlands, it is this exposure to nearly every corner of the state of South Carolina that has allowed for an appreciation and desire to use his abilities as a Registered Architect to make it as beautiful a state as possible. Combined with early career experience working on commercial and residential projects of various scopes in New York NY, Atlanta GA, Auburn AL, Charleston SC, and Sarasota FL, it is the combination of love of state and working in both deeply rural and urban environments that has helped shape Adam’s respect and understanding for projects all over and the people who experience them.
