PROJECT SPOTLIGHT: Branshaw Orthodontics


Thrive Architects is proud to showcase the newly completed first-time interior build-out for Branshaw Orthodontics, located at 17135 West Capitol Drive Suite 100 in Brookfield. This 3,180 sq ft project transformed a blank interior into an open treatment area featuring six chairs designed for an efficient, collaborative patient experience, complemented by additional chairs in a private consult room.


Soothing blue tones throughout the office promote comfort and relaxation, while crisp white cabinetry and countertops provide a clean, modern foundation. Warm wood accents and rich brown leather seating introduce an inviting balance, and frosted glass cabinetry paired with sleek black metal details—including the signature barn-door feature—adds a refined, contemporary touch.

We are truly grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with this client, help bring their vision to life, and extend our best wishes to Dr. Branshaw as his practice continues to grow.

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!
