OBJECTIVES
APPROACH
Neighboring the Schulte Wellness Center, our team focused on developing a campus feel with mono-sloped rooflines, repeating charcoal gray metal finishes, stacked stone, and wood-look metal. In order to give the Impact Compounding building its own identity, we expanded upon the building architecturally. This structure contains two tenant spaces, one of which is a white box space ready for a retail tenant to make their own. Our team set back the white box storefront eight feet to create a covered overhang, defining the entry. Using the same stone as the Schulte Wellness Center, we incorporated wrapped columns and wood-look metal siding on the ceiling. In collaboration with Jezerianc Geers and Choice One Engineering, we were able to ensure that the design and site allow for the expansion of the building in the future — providing a cost-efficient and visually interesting retail plaza.
Our designers worked closely with DaNite Sign Co to develop externally illuminated channel letters that rest on the top of the entrance canopy. The hidden track with recessed LED shines up at the metallic brass lettering reading “Impact”, while the lower cabinet holds push-through acrylic overlaid with metallic brass lettering reading “Compounding.”
The north tenant space, home to Impact Compounding, is a long, narrow space. Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems were a huge consideration during the Schematic Design and Design Development phases of the architecture process. The Revival team collaborated with MEP consultant, Stan Engineers, to ensure the thoughtful placement of equipment and incorporation of systems into the overall design.
Efficient space planning is key to maximizing usable square footage. Public areas encompass the front section of the building and connect to a controlled access centralized corridor — connecting all of the internal workrooms. The high ceilings, contemporary accent lighting, and large windows allow light to flood the space, illuminating the interior selections and artisan compounds.
The architecture team was challenged with combining the three main functions of the facility: compounding rooms, office spaces, and retail areas. Working with the strict health and safety code requirements in the compounding rooms was vastly different from the other spaces in the facility. Our team had to ensure Impact Compounding had a space where they could focus on the competency, compliance, and conformance of industry standards and requirements. The office spaces focus on marketing to lifestyle medicine physicians — keeping the finishes simplistic with pops of fun color in the furniture. The retail space prioritized product display and an efficient point-of-sale counter.
