PROJECT SPOTLIGHT: Bars & Recreation, West Allis

Thrive Architects is pleased to highlight the remodel of Bars & Recreation’s 12,000 square feet West Allis location, designed to strengthen the guest experience and support a highly efficient operational layout.

The reimagined 10,200 S.F. first floor and 1,800 S.F. mezzanine establish a cohesive environment that balances entertainment, circulation, and brand identity.

Our team focused on:

• Enhancing spatial flow through strategic reorganization of activity areas, bar zones, and connective pathways.

• Improving visibility and openness by integrating clear sightlines between the main level and mezzanine.

• Selecting durable, brand-forward materials that align with Bars & Rec’s energetic and industrial character.

We appreciate the opportunity to collaborate with Bars & Recreation in bringing this one-of-a-kind dynamic venue to life.

PROJECT SPOTLIGHT: Milestone Pediatrics

Thrive Architects is proud to showcase the interior alterations for Milestone Pediatrics, a 4,267 sq ft clinic remodel in Waukesha, completed in 2022. Our team transformed the existing office space into a highly efficient and child-focused healthcare environment, balancing durability, wayfinding, and playful design.

The updated floor plan improves clinical workflow with 12 exam rooms, a centralized nurse station, lab and triage rooms, and a dedicated lactation room to support family needs. Clear circulation paths and strategically located staff zones enhance wayfinding, visibility, and care coordination.

The interior design features the Milestone Pediatrics brand with bold lime green and teal accents paired with clean, modern finishes. An added touch of creative vinyl graphics to create an engaging, kid-friendly atmosphere can be seen throughout the clinic.

We're grateful for the trust this amazing client showed us by allowing us to reimagine their space.
