162 WENTWORTH STREET CHARLESTON SC
THIS IS 162 WENTWORTH STREET IN CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA. IT’S EASY TO SEE IN THE ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAPHS THAT THIS PROJECT WAS GOING TO BE A DRAMATIC TRANSFORMATION. THE BUILDING WHICH SITS PROMINENTLY ON THE CORNER OF RUTLEDGE AND WENTWORTH STREETS WAS CONSTRUCTED IN THE 1870’S. OVER THE YEARS, THE BUILDING HAD FALLEN INTO DISREPAIR AND THE STOREFRONT WAS SEVERELY ALTERED. OUR GOAL WAS TO DISCOVER AND RECREATE, AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE THE HISTORIC STOREFRONT. THE BEAUTIFUL FINISHED PRODUCT IS NOW HOME TO WENTWORTH AND GBS EVENTS AND IN 2025 I RECEIVED A CAROPOLOLIS AWARD FROM THE PRESERVATION SOCIETY OF CHARLESTON.
163 RUTLEDGE AVENUE CHARLESTON SC
THIS IS 163 RUTLEDGE, HOME TO THE LONGEVITY CLUB—A PREMIER BOUTIQUE HEALTH AND WELLNESS SPACE IN THE HEART OF CHARLESTON. HOUSED IN A FOUR-STORY OFFICE BUILDING BUILT IN THE EARLY 2000S, THE CLUB WAS FOUNDED BY JENNIE BROOKS, WHO ENVISIONED A MODERN, SPA-LIKE ALTERNATIVE TO THE CONVENTIONAL GYM. JENNIE APPROACHED ME TO HELP TAKE LONGEVITY TO ITS NEXT PHASE. THE RENOVATION INCLUDES ELEGANT SPACES, SPA-LIKE RESTROOMS, AND PRIVATE TREATMENT ROOMS. THE DESIGN FEATURES SOFT WHITE WALLS WITH BLOND WOOD ACCENTS, CREATING A SERENE, WELCOMING ENVIRONMENT. THE STUDIOS OFFER AN ELEVATED CLASS EXPERIENCE BLENDING STUNNING VIEWS OF HISTORIC CHARLESTON WITH CALMING INTERIORS.
