• Commercial • Retail • Industrial

This commercial retail facility presents a refined interpretation of contemporary industrial architecture, balancing durability with strong curb appeal.

The massing is clean and confident, defined by a simple gabled form paired with a rectilinear front volume that anchors the primary entrance. Vertical corrugated metal cladding contrasts with warm horizontal wood-toned panels, creating a sophisticated interplay of texture that softens the industrial scale while maintaining a strong presence.

The main retail entry is articulated through a recessed, double-height glazed storefront framed in dark metal. Expansive windows introduce natural light while reinforcing transparency and customer engagement.

A large overhead service door is thoughtfully incorporated, maintaining alignment and material continuity. Dark metal trim and canopy elements add depth and shadow, enhancing the building’s proportions.

The result is a modern-industrial aesthetic that feels polished, efficient, and well-suited for a growing retail or trade-oriented business.
