SoPo Social — Café + Wine Bar, Southport, NC
Designed to elevate everyday connection in the heart of downtown Southport, SoPo Social reimagines the café and wine bar as a layered community space. The ground floor café emphasizes quiet hospitality — the barista and prep zones are intentionally tucked away, allowing conversation and service to take center stage. Upstairs, a relaxed wine bar opens to a broad porch overlooking Howe Street, with a small stage for local jazz and acoustic nights.

Every design decision, from the open timber structure to the code-savvy mechanical layout, was made to blend warmth, efficiency, and purpose. The result: a coastal landmark that feels both modern and timeless — built for gathering, reflection, and social rhythm.
