- Silver Aurora Award Honor for Best Commercial Project- under 20,000 sq ft

​An 8,000 sq. ft. renovation of a once dilapidated building found in the middle of a vibrant, historical shopping center. With the guidance and approval of the Historic Preservation Committee we were able to create a modern take on this historical storefront. Comprising of 2 adjacent retail shops, we created a light, energizing and refreshing coffee shop attached to a brand new art gallery. The goal for this coffee shop design was to match the atmosphere with a gathering spot for the community.
It was important to create interior spaces that were relaxed and inviting. Setting the tone for the design, high ceilings and large expanses of storefront were incorporated into the main dining room and bar, allowing natural light to filter in and energize the patrons. Playing off this abundance of light, the design team selected a fresh and airy scheme with carefully placed bright accents that tie in with the brand’s colors. The clean, minimalist design highlighted with punches of refreshing color appeals to locals walking through the Shoppes at Avondale encouraging them to stop in to catch up on neighborhood happenings, which reinforces the client’s goal to have the community gather together.

​RAP honors designs that exemplify historic preservation in an outstanding manner within the Riverside community.

Southern Grounds Avondale opened at the Shoppes of Avondale towards the end of 2020, becoming an incredibly positive addition to the area. Just a short couple of months later, they were awarded with the New Construction Commercial Award from the Riverside Avondale Preservation. All nominees must reflect RAP's Core Principals, which are the following:

• Preserving and promoting the historic fabric.
• Supporting vibrant, independent, local businesses.
• Supporting quality of life improvements.
• Honoring our community.
• Promoting respectful, mutually-beneficial relationships.

Here's what the judges had to say about the award-winning project;

"This is the first major project in the Shoppes of Avondale since Mellow Mushroom and the jury found it a very positive addition to the streetscape. The scale of the large building is broken down into two unique storefronts of differing heights. This helps transition from the taller buildings at the center of the block to the lower facades further out. The contemporary language of the design is fresh but works well with its historic neighbors.
The jury particularly liked the color chosen for the taller section, it is quiet and simple, and delightfully focuses attention on the historic art deco façade to the right.
The large outdoor seating area adds to the public space while respecting the line of the street façade.
The owner and his team included innovative ways to support retail in the final design. The team produced a project which is sensitive to the context and a resource for the entire neighborhood."

2 and 3- story townhomes wrap beautifully around a Marina located on the Intracoastal, allowing for easy access to boats, fishing, and kayak launches. 

Ideally planned units ranging between 2,363- 2,810 sf, encompassing bright, modern and open floorplans which are designed to promote luxury and comfort. You can find Coastal and Mediterranean transitional colors and furniture inside of the units and a variety of breezy landscaping around each building.  

Although Aphora was created in 2 separate phases, the homes come together effortlessly to create a union of similarity, and design. Phase 1 involved creating 11 total units, and phase 2 brought an additional 14 units to the site.

There's also a 5,000 sf yacht club with open-air seating, fireplaces and plenty of room to gather with friends and family at the full bar area and catering kitchen.

The submitted project is a 42,000 sf clubhouse for a private golf course, replacing the existing club on the site.  After an 18-month design process, the entire demolition and new build took place within 11 months between scheduled events hosted by the course. The designer’s role and scope of the project included program coordination with the ownership team and initial space planning, all the way through installation of the designer-procured FFE package. Extensive coordination with the owner, offsite architect, and consultant teams resulted in a seamless construction administration process, even during the accelerated construction schedule. Interior finish selection, specification of decorative plumbing and lighting fixture packages, and millwork design and detailing were all developed under the concept of ‘an updated and upgraded classic Connecticut farmhouse with seaside influences’.  The clubhouse features a restaurant with bar, wrapping patios with views of the course, fully outfitted retail golf shop, multi-function and board rooms, and men’s and women’s locker room / lounge suites.  Additionally, a 4,500 sf event hall and adjacent event lawn are available for hosting weddings, large banquet functions and corporate events. Design elements include classic detailing such as crisp white painted trim and wainscoting, metal accents, and timeless fixtures. On-trend saturated accent colors in paint and wallcovering, floor finishes, and furniture fabrics were combined with warm and warm wide plank, white oak flooring for a traditional, yet updated feel.  Overall the finished club was received exceptionally well by the ownership, membership, and community at large.
