Gymnastics Revolution
Gymnastics Revolution is a gymnastics facility, with instructions in team and competitive gymnastics as well as Ninja. The goal of the project was to expand into the next vacated space, with the focus on durability and design in their new lobby area, making it a place indestructible. The idea to use airport seating, metal chairs, accent tables, diamond plate slatwall for clothing sales, and durable colorful wallcovering made the space both fun and timeless.
Meijer In-Hospital Pharmacy and Gas Station C-Store
For the Pharmacy, the hurdles of this design were to circumvent the medical pipelines going vertically through the building. The curved storefront consisted of two half circles of the same dimensions, except one was opposite hand. The project included color and material specifications, lighting and flooring.
For the Gas Station C-Store, the concept was to take elements
from their building facade design and to design for new product categories for sandwiches, grab and go, beer cooler, seating and convenient check out.
