Cleveland brothers
Cleveland Brothers Facilities sells large equipment like CAT-brand excavators and tractors. When their plans included 3 new facilities to be designed and constructed, they turned to Warehaus for help with planning. There were many moving parts for the Cleveland Brothers buildings, including a retail area, office space, and a warehouse with areas dedicated to servicing machines and parts. During planning, the project owners were open to many ideas, including using bright colors and features like hexagon-shaped ceiling tiles to keep the space on-brand for the company in a fun and exciting way that will be enjoyable for customers and employees alike.

york academy regional charter school (YARCS)
~ legacy hall ~
York Academy Regional Charter School (YARCS) was looking to expand its schools by using an empty storage annex building and turning it into classrooms and learning spaces. Due to the age of the building, there were many challenges faced, but also some incredible features, such as barrel vaulted brick ceilings that we kept as part of the design. During planning, the project owners were open to many innovative ideas for utilizing the space available to provide teachers and students with a fun and engaging learning experience. This includes flexible classrooms with movable furniture, custom-designed multi-use casework with bench tops, and a classroom with a folding partition and fun, comfy furniture. I worked closely with teachers and staff to select the best materials possible that fit into their budget while also exceeding expectations. The exposed structural and architectural features of the building provide a hands-on learning experience for their students interested in architecture, structure, engineering, and design.

YARCS Legacy Hall - Presentation to Students
The students of York Academy (YARCS) became heavily involved in the project for their school when it came time to name the building. At first, it was just rumored as "The Annex" which was not a very exciting or memorable name. Eager to take part in the legacy of this new building, the students narrowed it down and took a vote, and Legacy Hall was born. Students became so interested in the project that my colleague and I were asked to put together a presentation for them, helping them understand the process of our projects.
The students who attended all had an interest in Architecture, Design, Engineering, Structure, or related fields. My colleague and I gave a presentation that was engaging and interactive, and left the students excited to learn more. They got to participate by making educated guesses about factors that drive site design, answering a mini-quiz, and physically interacting with sample boards and 3D models. Each student got to take home a small sample of the countertop used in Legacy Hall, helping them to feel even more connected and important to their school's project.
York state fairgrounds
York State Fairgrounds was in dire need of an accessibility update for their heavily used restrooms on the grounds, and Warehaus was ready to help. After taking measurements and stock of restrooms in all 6 buildings, we got to redesigning. The biggest challenge was trying to use the existing plumbing fixture connections as much as possible, while also avoiding structural elements and other existing 'features'. After much collaboration and making small adjustments to the design, we were able to create plans within budget for new restrooms in 5 out of the 6 buildings. New fixtures and finishes were installed with up-to-date accessibility clearances, making the fairgrounds a more inclusive place!

Wall Finishing Key Images
Another challenge we faced was how to cover the walls made of structural glazed tile in the Memorial Hall Restrooms. With every corner rounded, it was going to be a difficult feat to cover these surfaces with a new finish. Working together with the team at Warehaus, we created details for two different solutions that the owner could choose from: FRP or Ceramic Tile. Once we understood the details and estimated cost for each, the owner chose to use ceramic tile, which turned out beautifully!
THE BARN RESORT
Once the site of “The World’s Most Humongous Teddy Bear Store” what was once Boyds Bear Country would be transformed into Gettysburg's new tourist destination and family-friendly fun haven. The owner of this project came to Warehaus looking for assistance in designing a fun experience for travelers, including dining, shopping, attending or hosting events, and staying overnight. With big dreams in mind, we were able to help this client's vision come true!
Utilizing the existing elements of the space, we carefully planned out the event space, retail area, large but inviting lobby and lounge area, arcade, bar, and buffet. In order to capture some of the original features of the space, we utilized the existing silo structure as the holding tank for the fire suppression system. We also kept many of the original architectural features, especially the beautiful stone fireplaces, and architectural wood structure in the lobby. The ongoing transformation of this building and site includes planning for a hotel and a campground.

HAYSHIRE ELEMENTARY
At Warehaus, community engagement is important, and I was eager to participate at any chance I got! For an event at Hayshire Elementary school, my colleague and I volunteered to put together a fun learning experience for a Career experience event at the school. Inspired and motivated, Cody and I quickly came up with a fun way to engage young elementary students in Architecture in a way they could understand. We created a fun build-your-own house activity, where students and their families collaborated to put together a house (made out of bass wood) and decorate it. Armed with student helpers, we had an absolute blast, and so did the students! The students' houses looked really awesome at the end!
Warehaus library
The materials library at Warehaus was jam-packed full of options - some of which were outdated or discontinued! I was tasked with clearing everything out and moving the library to a new room with less than half the capacity they originally had. I was able to create a plan to sort through everything, then design and organize the new library. Rather than throwing outdated samples away, I was able to form a relationship with Philadelphia's Magic Gardens (PMG) & donate many of the materials that would have been thrown away. These materials would be used by PMG for local artists, education, and their magic gardens!
Once the new library was in place, I was able to create an organization system that I trained other employees how to use. I also created forms that colleagues could fill out when they needed assistance with sample ordering or researching a specific material. We even streamlined the process for product representatives to reach out and schedule appointments to visit our library and update their brands through a meeting with me.

Warehaus kitchen & kitchenette
The kitchen and kitchenette at Warehaus needed some major sprucing up. The casework, countertop, and backsplash were outdated, and the colors didn't blend with Warehaus' brand. I met with the owners to determine what their ideas and visions were for the cabinetry and backsplashes. While they knew they wanted a bold, elegant look that reflected their brand in a sleek way, they hadn't settled on a final design quite yet.
At first, we thought it might be too much black - the cabinets, the countertop, and the backsplash - but when I put it into a rendering, it all came together. While brainstorming ideas for the backsplash tile pattern, I had so many basic ideas, but none stood out as a winner. I remember pausing my brainstorm to be introduced to a product representative, and as I handed them a Warehaus-branded business card, the idea hit me like a ton of bricks - I'd mimic the pattern on the business card using the tiles!
Then, the difficult part was narrowing down which patterns to show the team. I had so many ideas it was nearly impossible to choose just a few. I managed to narrow it down to 6 images I wanted to present, with the business card pattern saved for last as the "winning idea" but I needed a way to simplify things. Nobody wants to flip back and forth between 6 photos to make a decision - it's too much to digest. I thought back to my days at PhilaU, and remembered a few things my friends majoring in animation taught me. It occurred to me that I could use animation to create a single image that would rotate my design ideas before the owners' eyes!
My presentation of the design ideas went over extremely well with the owners, and they loved my tile pattern idea! The owners felt it reflected their brand in a modern and sleek way, and they chose this pattern to be installed additionally in the main kitchen after the kitchenette was completed.

Warehaus lettering project
When the owners of Warehaus purchased their building, they wanted to make some branding modifications that would stand out. Since many of our meetings take place virtually, the owners wanted to provide a way to show our branding in the background of each conference space during virtual video meetings. The idea of having the company logo against a bold, branded wall was irresistible.
I measured the areas intended to receive the lettering and made scaled drawings to determine a good size and orientation for the installation. Once the design was approved by the owners, I reached out to several companies to ask for quotes, which I compiled into a binder for easy comparison. Once determined, we got payment squared away and set up a date and time for the installers to come - the final product looks incredible!
Warehaus Pin-up space
When the owners of Warehaus purchased their building, they wanted to make some modifications that would help increase the functionality of their space. All of our projects require collaboration, and the Pin-Up space is like a haven for colleagues to come and receive help with brainstorming. Due to the age, the space was outdated, lined with too many countertops and a peninsula that blocked the space from being used in a versatile way.
I met with the owners, and we determined the intention for how the space would be used. This gave me a great starting point to determine the type of arrangements and versatility that would be required of the furniture selected. After careful brainstorming and consideration, as well as consulting with furniture brand representatives, we found a design that would solve problems, create functionality, and feel comfortable while staying on-brand.
After finalizing the design, I worked with furniture vendors on behalf of the owners to place orders, schedule deliveries and installations, and ensure we were receiving the best possible pricing. The final product turned out fantastic, and the space's utilization increased by a surprising amount!
