Austin Street Mid-Rise Loft Livin' in a Concrete Ribbon Queens, New York

Like a ribbon of concrete, structure emerges from within this seven-story, mixed-use mid-rise design in New York City. The highly expressive sculptural treatment of balconies, planters, and canopies is emblematic of sustainable design while emphasizing the uniqueness of each of the twenty-one residential units. The memorable building form looks optimistically to the future while drawing from its transitional context of brick-clad commercial buildings.

Cravory Cookies Cooking Up A Sweet Design! Bressi Ranch, Carlsbad, California

Our new cookie store at Bressi Ranch is open! Fresh, modern, and sweet, the nearly all-white store was done in collaboration with Hollis Brand Culture on a super-tight budget. Designed to create an immediate, product-forward impact in a compact store selling up to thirty (!) flavors of rich, comfort-inducing, and imaginative cookies bursting with flavor, this bright, welcoming store will also offer crafted specialty coffee and milk. Evoking Scandinavian and mid-century spaces, the architecture of Cravory at Brassi Ranch is a carefully studied composition of white counters and glass cases, with friendly, eye-catching, and fun graphics.

University of Arizona Flagship Store An Education In Retail Design Tucson, Arizona

Intended as a high-end experience comparable to Neiman Marcus or Nordstrom, our full transformation of the University of Arizona Flagship Store on campus in Tucson, Arizona, is finally coming to life. One of our most challenging projects to date, the design and construction process involved updating an existing retail space while maintaining the spirit of a highly successful store, phasing work according to the UA academic calendar, and a tight budget. Colkitt&Co performed an in-depth retail analysis of the store’s main sales floor, explored design alternatives through a series of rendered interior views, and carefully detailed retail fixtures and displays to seamlessly merge with the most effective aspects of the existing retail environment. The contrast between the previous store and the new well-rounded retail experience comes across as starkly as night and day, especially for those who remember the former flagship store!
