Project Spotlight: River Park Apartments - Glendale, WI

River Park Apartments after and before transformation

Thrive Architects completes a transformative journey!

We were presented with the exciting challenge of repurposing a former nursing home in Glendale, Wisconsin. Located adjacent to the picturesque Milwaukee River and Oak Leaf trail system, our design approach was deeply rooted in enhancing the overall experiential quality.

Our dedicated team undertook a comprehensive exterior and interior remodel, all while preserving the integrity of the existing window placements. The result? A seamless blend of functionality and aesthetics.

Strategic placement of amenities such as a community room, fitness center, laundry facility, and resident pet wash was meticulously planned to optimize usability. Moreover, a grand lobby featuring an expansive fireplace serves as a warm and inviting focal point, encouraging community interaction and connection.

Not stopping there, we also reconfigured the property layout to accommodate new detached garages, further enhancing the convenience and comfort of residents.

 

PROJECT STATS

Remodel: 82,494 sq ft

Completed: 2024

Stay tuned for more inspiring transformations from Thrive Architects!

Project Spotlight: Tropical Smoothie Cafe

PROJECT SPOTLIGHT: Tropical Smoothie Cafe - Waukesha, WI

In 2019, Thrive Architects was selected to be a corporate approved Site Adapt Architect for Tropical Smoothie Cafe. We remodeled various locations throughout Wisconsin. Our most recent one to be completed is in Waukesha. Thrive Architects was tasked to design the interior space with a tropic vibe while keeping to the Tropical Smoothie’s brand. We executed their brand design strategy as prescribed which included using an ocean teal on walls along with bold and bright colors accented by seating. Natural wood colors were used on the floor and beach scenes framed to complete the walls. We love the feel and wish we could spend more time at the beach!

DETAILS:

Interior Remodel: 1,650 sq ft

Completed: 2023

Architect: Thrive Architects; Project Manager: Ashley Pollex
