Office Corridor + Computer Information Center
A computer information center is located on both the first and second level of the offices so clients can do some quick research while they are waiting to be seen. The corridors of the offices are set on a curved path to create dimension and intrigue.

Educational Resource Center
Seating for up to 24 in the educational resource center allows for multiple families to gain knowledge and access to the various programs offered such as seminars, workshops, and job training for employees.

Showroom
Each showroom is built in amongst the retail isles to help give the user an idea of what the items might look like in their home or business. Items related to the showrooms set up can be easily picked off the shelf as they go.

First Floor Plan
The core of the floor plan exists in the seed shaped gallery which intertwines through the retail and office spaces connecting all three harmoniously. Educational resource center, located just beyond gallery, can be used for client seminars, workshops, and job training. Custom made bucket/tray systems are located throughout the space to house smaller miscellaneous items.

Mezzanine Floor Plan
A mezzanine above the gallery and educational resource center houses 10 offices for various employees at the Savannah branch. Storage closet for office and Educational resource center storage items. Entry points to back of house spaces allow for multiple access for shipping, receiving, and storage load and unload.

Axonometric
Conference rooms and offices are housed in glass panes to allow natural light to penetrate through. Large circulation paths create easy pathways or ADA wheelchair use. Large items can be neatly organized and stored in the back of house space, utilizing wall space for storage creates more circulation as well as a clear understanding of inventory. Reception located just beyond the entrance of the space gives the user a clear view and path to where they need to go.

Materiality
Sustainable choices in materiality is what ties this design together. Utilizing reclaimed wood and tiles from past projects or from donors is an easy way to reduce waste as well as give a "homey" worn in feel. Because a warehouse type space isn't acoustically sound, insulation is key, and recycled blue jeans for interior wall insulation is a perfect fit for a sustainable yet practical option.
