PEARLZ UPSTAIRS

PEARLZ UPSTAIRS · COLUMBIA, SC · HOSPITALITY · COMPLETED

An upscale dining and hospitality experience in the heart of Columbia, South Carolina. Jeff Lewis AIA designed a space that elevates the Pearlz brand with an environment that is polished, comfortable, and distinctly memorable.

Pearlz Upstairs called for a design that could carry the energy and reputation of an established Columbia dining institution into a new, elevated space. The project focused on creating an environment that felt both sophisticated and approachable — a place where guests could linger, celebrate, and return to time and again.
