The friendliest New Englander you'll meet, Ben Reeves received his Masters in architecture at Andrews University where it was still mandated to hand draw everything for the majority of the traditional program. He enjoys working both by hand and through computer software to design beautiful homes. He began his strong high-end residential roots at Austin Patterson Disston Architects with work focused throughout Fairfield County and West Hampton Dunes. He then moved with his family to Beaufort in 2017 to switch gears into the Lowcountry by working with Allison Ramsey Architects, gaining tremendous project management experience.
Part of the beauty of Court Atkins is that it promotes an environment of personal and professional growth, pulling all of the abilities into one place while creating new ones. This office is a home and family, and he is blessed to be counted among people who genuinely care about what they do and who they work with.
At home, Ben enjoys working with his wife on an endless list of art projects that include drawing, sculpting, and sometimes lots of cardboard. If not running a 5k or 10k with their son, you'll find them on the floor with board games and the latest LEGO set.
