MHK Carolinas

Based in Greenville, South Carolina, MHK Architecture and Planning offers a stunning variety of architectural design styles. From beautiful mountain-style architecture which displays rustic elegance to low country coastal contemporary design, our team has the capabilities to appeal to any design taste and unique environmental locations of the Carolinas. Led by Principal Mitch Lehde, beyond the contemporary low country coastal specialty that MHK Architecture and Planning is famous for, we specialize in mountain architectural vernacular, which consists of bold, natural and textured buildings and materials which function to withstand the rugged mountain elements and blend with the natural environment.
