Tasked with repositioning the Scandinavian Designs brand in the retail marketplace by enhancing the customer experience, we welcomed the opportunity to deliver a building that is innovative, functional, and economical. Located within an existing strip shopping center, adjacent to a Walmart, this new tilt-up concrete and wood panel building established a contemporary identity for the complex.

Inside this prototypical furniture showroom a large span of flexible interior space features appropriately scaled furniture display vignettes.

Utilizing Scandinavian design principles that balance the man made with the organic, we incorporated green building components including native landscaping, energy efficient and passive heating, cooling, and ventilation systems, and daylighting.

Working within the owner’s limited budget, on tight schedule, and under a restrictive aesthetic covenant for the complex we applied efficient construction technologies, repetitive steel framing, standard storefront glazing, and a rain screen facade system.
