Sanctuary Court
Mixed Use InfillSanctuary Court consists of eight buildings located in the heart of Charleston’s historic district, fronting Spring Street. Working in collaboration with another local architect, Bello Garris designed five of the buildings, which provide a total of 14 residential units.
The building fronting Spring Street (with pitched roof) is mixed-use, with a 1600 s.f. commercial ground floor space and four two-bedroom/two-bath 800 s.f. apartments on the upper floors.
Arranged around a narrow alley in a tight site in the middle of a city block, the buildings’ design is in response to the surrounding architectural context and was required to adhere to a very limited construction budget.
