Liberty Place

Charleston , SC

Garvin Design Group– Charleston SC

Offering 100 luxury vacation ownership units in the heart of historic Charleston, Liberty Place embraces an authentic architecture honoring the historic legacy of its context while being entirely of its time. The new five-story building celebrates its historic siting while providing modern amenities to unit owners and the public. Public spaces – the lobby, ground floor bar, and grab-and-go café – are strategically located along a perimeter corridor on the building’s first floor. This careful programming welcomes the public into the space without violating privacy for unit owners.

In the lobby, a backlit brass and wood feature wall honors the Liberty Tree that once stood on the site. Monumental coffered and relief décor ceilings, detailed wood paneling, light paint colors, and richly textured upholstery convey Charleston’s signature elegance throughout the ground floor public spaces. The custom bar in the ground floor lounge features antique glass mirror panels behind metal “ironwork” details. Marble countertops and custom cabinetry give owner units an air of sophisticated familiarity. Sconce light fixtures recall the lanterns adorning Charleston porches and front doors.

Liberty Place is a glittering new destination that exudes both the energy and opulence of its parent brand and the sense of history that characterizes old Charleston.
