challenges included constricted storage space, a tight six-month schedule from conception to move-in, and the need for a design which would be portable in the event of a move. The owner also requested highly visible, customer-friendly technology. To address these issues, the team designed portable custom freestanding furniture which maximizes storage space.
A sleek custom-made cash wrap features a flush-mounted logo and backlit acrylic element in the owner’s signature color.
A comprehensive product display allows customers to make selections in the store, purchase on the spot, and ship items home.

The architectural character evolved from reference imagery and a careful consideration of values of the target market that were transferred to an image-rich storyboard. The team then refined concepts in a Vision Book with elevations, renderings, and sections developed during the design process. Designs for environmental graphics included storefront and signage design criteria, recommended materials, allowable signage, merchandise display requirements, and a tenant leasing marketing brochure.
FRIENDLY CENTER
The design challenge was to connect an existing commercial center with good visibility and a thriving street presence with a new 240,000 SF development. The solution: an open lawn which serves as a “window,” connecting the two developments, including an island green subdivided into three open-air venues with a kiosk, a large fountain plaza, and open green space with an informal canopied stage.
Drawing connections between retail, restaurants, and multifamily. The comfortable environment offers pedestrian-friendly, bricklined circulation paths and gracious visitor amenities to support Friendly Center activities and build customer loyalty.

Transforming a vacant warehouse into a thriving mixed-use destination. BoomTown anchors Pacific Box and Crate, a mixed use development on an industrial site which formerly housed Pacific Guano and Dixie Box and Crate. The renovation of an existing brick warehouse created a mix of open offices and enclosed meeting rooms to support a variety of contemporary work models, with creative and energetic “fun zones” encouraging cross-pollination and spontaneous interaction. The original structure featured expansive high-bay space but offered little visual or spatial definition. A weathering steel and corrugated metal exterior, galvanized steel canopy, and edgy balance of sleek and gritty materials integrate with exposed structure to create a contemporary workplace vibe. Large curtainwall inserts and skylights bring natural light deep into the interior, while punches of color and whimsical wallcoverings add visual interest to the space. Custom furnishings made from reclaimed docks and barns, refurbished white metal lamps, and artwork tailored to the space all contribute to the company’s unique energy. A light filled sunken living room serves as a multiuse space for relaxation or meetings, and a company bar is a popular late-day meeting

ARTILLERY BAR
An elegant new look for a cherished Savannah landmark. Erected in 1896 for the Georgia Hussars, the ornate storefront building added a distinctly elegant quality to its sector of Jasper Ward. Inspired by Venetian Gothic design, the exotic, terra cotta spiraling columns and arches adorned with pinnacles and quatrefoils distinguish it today as a remarkably unique work of architecture on the Bull Street corridor. In its most recent revival, this historic treasure has now become Artillery, an upscale cocktail bar that pays homage to its notable past. Once a storehouse where the Georgia Hussars’ armory kept the Calvary’s artillery, the locale has been aptly named and its style conveys subtle references to its history while introducing modern design elements that represent the owner’s contemporary brand. Prior to the renovation, the building had been a retail space. Much of the interior had been concealed with carpet floors, suspended ductwork and gypsum walls. The renovation retained exposed existing brick walls which, with the addition of steel frame windows and doors, now houses the wine cellar. Historic woodwork and trim was repaired where possible and replicated in a similar style to replace missing elements. Savannah, GA
From storefront to farm-to-table staple in the Upstate. The design for this farm-to-table restaurant and market allows the local and seasonal cuisine to take center stage. The 3,700 SF existing building was a former grocery store which had been compartmentalized into multi-tenant office space; the new design subtly divides the open-plan space into zones serving the various program elements including casual walk-up order counter, butcher area, retail area, bar area, and main dining area. Each zone is visually distinctive within the unified design aesthetic that flows from the interior to the outdoor seating area. Greenville, SC
