Giving back ... one house at a time.

Recently Inspiro 8 Studios began working on a project in the Historic Hampton-Pickney District dowtown Greenville. In contributing to the City of Greenville's revitalization of the area, our studio had begun working with a local investor to refurbish one of the original row houses built in the area in the 1920's.

Time has definitely taken its toll on many of the residences in the area, many falling into disrepair over the past decades. However even in seeing this home in its roughest form, there is an formidable beauty and elegance that once made this home an exquisite place to live. In walking through the rough structure of the residence, there are many of the elements and details still present that makes these turn of the century homes have the character that draw so many people to them.

We have taken the time to inventory these details and now are beginning to work with a local builder to restore the home to its original beauty while implementing changes to the floor plan to accomodate what is needed for our modern lifestyles today. We are excited about this project and look forward to continuing to help with the revitalization of this area!

"There is an undiscovered beauty, a divine excellence, just beyond us. Let us tiptoe, forgetting nearer things, and grasp what we may." - Bernard Maybeck

Allowing our clients to visualize!

One of the things that we pride our company in is the ability to allow our clients to visualize their projects before construction ever begins. Recently we have completed a project where a client approached us with a purchased set plan drawings ("The Clairemont" by Don Gardner Architect). Our role was modifying aspect of the plans to develop client modifications while blending within the Cliffs at Keowee Falls South community.

Benjamin Moore Paints has now created an interface which allows us apply the exact color of their paints in our rendering application. Utilizing photography of stone selections and roofing materials Inspiro 8 Studios is able to produce realistic depictions of the completed residence with material selections for our clients to review and modify while still in the design phase of the project. As designers we enjoy the whole process of the design and are pleased that we have the opportunity to further enhance existing designs while helping our clients to visual the outcome of the project early on.
