The Guest House Studio was founded in 2015 in Charleston, SC by Christyn Dunning - Gauss and has since served more than 40 clients nationwide.  Since opening our doors, our full-service interior architecture and design firm has earned a sterling reputation for seamlessly integrating three major facets of a build to include construction, architecture and interiors. With knowledge in all three areas we are your one stop shop before you even file for permitting to make sure that in the end, your home is not only a place of refuge, but it is also functional for your particular lifestyle.  For us, design is personal.
