The Mockingbird Downtown Greenville

Hospitality architectural photography for The Mockingbird, a new listening room at the Peace Center in downtown Greenville, SC


Client; Peace Center

The Mockingbird is a new listening room at Greenville's Peace Center, created by combining two historic South Main Street buildings into a single sophisticated venue. Inside, original brick walls and faded ghost signage sit alongside warm oak floors, tin ceilings, and a long brass-lit bar, with cabaret seating arranged toward an intimate stage. I photographed The Mockingbird and Coach Music Factory along with the meeting spaces above, documenting how the architecture moves between the polish of the public rooms and the raw industrial bones of the building itself.
