Upstate FOODIES get ready! We’re thrilled to be working again with two popular restauranteurs who are bringing their sought-after brand of culinary fare to BridgeWay Station in the City of Mauldin, South Carolina. From husband and wife team, Julia and Jason Scholz of Stella's Southern Brasserie comes Rôtie by Stella’s, a modern take on classic French rotisserie meets the American South. MPS’ Neal Kanipe, who designed the restaurant, told the Upstate Business Journal a goal for this project was to create different viewpoints in each section of the space. By doing so, each dining area would give guests a different experience within its smaller footprint. Read more about this new restaurant concept here: https://hubs.li/Q02vSkVP0 Also, coming to BridgeWay is Table 301's first restaurant outside of downtown Greenville. Carl Sobocinski’s popular restaurant group collaborated with MPS to create a space that conjured the colors and rustic ambiance of Italy. The space features textures of natural stone and brick in a muted terracotta color palette, “where we’re striking interest and intrigue is layering texture and scale within that,” said MPS designer Missy Games.

👟 Marathon Monday was a blast across all 7 MPS Studios! 🌟 Our goal last Monday: each Studio walk 26.2 miles collectively in a day. From morning walks with coworkers to afternoon ice cream "runs" to evening strolls with our furry friends, we stepped it up. Together, we logged over 700 miles! 🎉 Who said office culture can't be fun AND healthy? #MPSwell #WeNotI #MPSculture

Thanks to the students from Clemson University School of Architecture for visiting our Charleston studio! The students spent time with our architects and designers learning about our current projects. They asked great questions about different project types, different design techniques and what it is like to work at MPS. #clemsonarchitecture #clemsonSoA #staycurious #wenoti

Congratulations to United Community on a wonderful grand opening for their Headquarters and Banking Center in downtown Greenville! It was inspiring to work with a client who wanted a building designed to fit their strong culture and purpose of bringing everyone from the community together. This challenging project would not have been possible without incredible, visionary partners, developer Stephen Navarro from The Furman Co. The City of Greenville, South Carolina, Harper General Contractors and all the talented engineers, subs, and artists and skilled craftspeople who worked through COVID to make this building a reality. Up to 300 people will be working inside this International WELL Building Institute (IWBI)-certified, 118,000-square-foot, seven-story glass box rising among the trees by river; we are so excited for them and to see what comes next!
