ADS - The Design Company was founded in 1996 to meet the growing needs of residential and commercial clients and contractors across the Southeast seeking creative design at a more reasonable price than that of traditional architectural firms.  We take pride in paying careful attention to each client’s specific needs, desires and budget throughout every phase of their project.  Each project we undertake is a unique creation for that specific client and is suited to meet their individual tastes and functional needs while blending seamlessly into the building site and its environment.

Founder & president, Darrell Snow, began the first ten years of his career working in local architectural firms before making ADS a full-time company.  Active in the community, he serves on the Architectural Advisory Committee for Greenville Technical College's Architectural Engineering Technology program and as a Facilities Advisor on the Langston Charter High School Planning Committee in Greenville, SC, scheduled to open in the Fall of 2011.  Darrell also serves on the Architectural Review Committees for Acadia & Cobblestone developments.

In addition to projects of a the traditional nature, ADS has participated in the Greenville HBA Charity Auctions at the Southern Home & Garden Show, benefitting Friends of Guardian ad Litem, and received First Prize Winner for both the Children's Choice Playhouse in 2008 and Dog House in 2007.
