The Nickel Hotel, located on King Street in Charleston, South Carolina, exemplifies a fusion of historic and contemporary architecture. Designed by Morris Adjmi Architects in cooperation with Method Co., the hotel mirrors the area's iconic ironwork facades while utilizing modern construction methods. The interior design features vintage furnishings and intricate millwork, creating a comfortable yet elegant environment. The hotel also boasts a traditional courtyard, which serves as a communal living space for guests, showcasing exposed brick and wrought-iron details amid lush greenery.
Walking down Charleston, South Carolina's storied King Street, passersby will notice a new building; one reflective of the ironwork facades long in place here but also more modern buildings.
What might not be apparent at first glance is that the site-responsive compound curve reliefs is in fact precast concrete and an innovative glass-fiber variant at that.
Incorporating the aforementioned ironwork in near exact replication of the ornamental flourishes adorning nearby buildings, the hotel's street-facing exterior is also defined by recessed paneling and arched windows.
A traditionally inspired courtyard - cutting through the second upward - serves as The Nickel's central living room, reserved to hotel guests.
