Game Day Just Got an Upgrade!

DESIGN REVEAL: One of Thrive Architects’ specialties is recreational design — where creativity meets community. Our latest project with Hortonville Area School District hits it out of the park: a brand-new outdoor concession stand by the baseball diamond!

From wheelchair-accessible restrooms to a thoughtful concession area for game-day fuel up to the mezzanine press box with the best seat in the house... Every detail was designed to make the fan experience better, safer, and more fun; durable exterior finishes, and weather-friendly picnic areas to watch the game —you’ve got a space built for community, comfort, and countless home runs.

DESIGN REVEAL: Designing a New Home for Highland Crest Baptist Church

Thrive Architects is excited to partner with Smet Construction & Highland Crest Baptist Church as they plan to relocate their current facility on Military Avenue to a new facility on a larger campus just up the road at Military Ave & Langlade Ave.

The proposed church is thoughtfully designed to support ministry, fellowship, and community life. 

 

Inside, the new space will feature:

• Education spaces for children, youth & adults

• Church office area

• Multiple fellowship areas

• A full gymnasium for youth & adult programs

• A sanctuary with seating for 500 people

Beyond the walls, the site plan prioritizes accessibility and connection:

• Outdoor greenspace for activities

• A fenced-in playground for children’s ministry

• Bicycle parking and walkable access to neighborhood businesses

Every detail has been planned to create a space that reflects the church’s mission of gathering, growing, and serving.

 

We’re honored to help bring Highland Crest’s vision to life through these renderings and can’t wait to continue the design!

PROJECT SPOTLIGHT: Spellman Trailers, Inc. – Franklin, WI

Every project starts with an idea — and for Spellman Trailers, Inc., those ideas began as sketches developed in collaboration with PSG. Thrive Architects was brought in to transform that vision into a fully realized, functional workspace that supports the company’s continued growth.

A trusted name in commercial trailer sales and servicing since 1968, Spellman Trailers needed to expand and modernize their facility. The project includes a 1,472-square-foot office addition and a renovation of the existing space, designed to improve workflow and comfort.

The result integrates natural stone from the exterior into the interior, introduces a renovated open office area and new private offices, and features a conference room with expansive glass panels that flood the space with natural light. The design balances practicality and warmth, aligning with Spellman’s forward-looking approach.

PROJECT SPOTLIGHT: From Nursing Home to Neighborhood Gem

In 2024, River Park Apartments officially opened its doors in Glendale, Wisconsin. JM Remodeling partnered with Thrive Architects to transform this former nursing home into an 82,000+ square foot multifamily community offering one-, two-, and three-bedroom units.

Our design team reimagined the structure inside and out—creating a modern living experience while maintaining the original window placement. The site’s connection to the Milwaukee River and Oak Leaf Trail inspired an experiential approach, emphasizing connection to nature and community.

Residents now enjoy thoughtfully designed amenities including a spacious lobby with an expansive fireplace, community room, fitness center, laundry facility, pet wash, and newly configured detached garages.
