Julia Martin Architects in collaboration with Melissa Lenox Design has completely overhauled this historic house, located in South of Broad, a neighborhood in downtown Charleston, South Carolina. The project team took this forgotten gem and gave it a full-scale, modern renovation that is full of Hollywood glamour and style.

While the walls were torn down, the charm of the original architecture was preserved. Fresh white was used as the canvas for this swanky, light-filled space with pops of bold color and pattern. Relaxed with a hint of opulence creates a dwelling that is brimming with personality and high style.

What We Love: This historic Charleston house has gone from drab to fab thanks to a stunning transformation by the project team. A crisp, clean backdrop of white with playful pops of color helped to make this home feel light and airy. We are absolutely loving the color palette throughout this dwelling, from the pops of gold to the black and white color scheme in some of the bathrooms, there is so much to love in this home!
