Summit Place

Dynamic urban living for young professionals.

Summit Place is a 184,000 SF, five-story development located in downtown Charleston. The property’s interior design includes an engaging Makerspace. The client was seeking a way to distinguish the building from the competition, and transformed a planned cluster of meeting rooms into a place where its residents can build, create, and explore. Visible from the street, the Makerspace needed to be dynamic enough to engage with pedestrians and grab the attention of prospective residents; it also needed to be made up of easily cleanable and durable surfaces to withstand painting and other creative work.

The resulting aesthetic, with exposed ceilings and wooden framework, resembles a city loft- an image familiar to aspiring artists composed of cool metal, warm wood, and light. The custom wood details and the pegboard wall frame the Makerspace with a compelling visual element, speaking to a creative experience not explored at other competing properties. The design emphasizes the purpose of the space with a grand scale and a central emphasis on the work table.
