This project was a new Animal Hospital venture for two Ada Veterinary Doctors.  The building was strategically located along a natural setting adjacent to the Grand River and offered walking trails for pets and their owners.  The site proximity to the Grand River did classify the property within the 100 year flood plain and as such required additional development by the design team to meet federal and state regulations.  The building design was simple in approach and reflective of the local residential context.  Interior spaces were organized around a central reception lobby that provided control points at exam rooms and pet owner exits to separate potential animal conflicts.  Supporting spaces included  X-Ray, Isolation, Surgery, Treatment, Kennel, and Retail.  Materials and finishes were developed around a stress and maintenance free animal environment.

This project involved designing a new space and brand for an established iconic eatery located in Muskegon, Michigan.  The design aesthetic was reflective of the broad menu offerings and created mutliple dining settings for patrons of multiple generations.  Settings included a Bar, Private Dining, Exterior Patio Dining, and Deli Support.  Natural materials, lighting and openess to views between dining, bar, and kitchen created a sense of community place and energy.

This project involved planning, renovation, and new construction of the campus buildings for Wedgwood Christian Services.  Design includes master planning of existing campus and upgrade of current institutional facilities to better serve the mission and program growth for Wedgwood Christian Services.  Building design and campus development included a School, Wellness Center, Residence Halls, Counseling Center, and Administrative Offices.  The school facility was also LEED Certified

This project involved a new corporate headquarters for Muskegon Commerce Bank.  The design provided a 2-story glass entry lobby connecting the front and back of building for customer friendly access and wayfinding.  Retail customer service was supported on the main floor and included a vehicle drive-thru canopy for service of up to 5 customers at one time.  The upper level provided private offices and meeting environments for bank executives and private lending support.  The lower level environment included additional staff work, break and conferencing spaces.
