Occupying an entire city block in a historic downtown area, this new 22,000 square foot mixed-use building contains ground floor retail, with medical office suites above and an underground parking facility below. The client operates a successful pharmacy business which will be located in the ground floor retail space. k.a provided programming, site planning, architectural design and construction documentation for the project. We also assisted the client in obtaining approval with local zoning codes and entitlements on this exceptionally difficult and constrained site.

Located at a crucial urban intersection diagonally opposite the Beaux-Arts County Courthouse, the building’s massing helps reinforce the reading of the original 19th century 16-square city grid. Careful design of the building’s exterior envelope, and material selections of red brick and cast stone help to evoke the traditional masonry buildings found in the area. As a catalyst for downtown economic re-vitalization the exterior parking deck will play host to weekend events such as antique car shows, art exhibits, etc.
