Celebrating Edgar’s 1-Year Anniversary at Thrive!

As September comes to a close, we’re taking a moment to recognize Edgar Enriquez, who has officially hit his one-year mark with Thrive!

Edgar joined us as an experienced designer, bringing a strong foundation from National University Philippines and design contributions across New Hampshire, Illinois, and Wisconsin. Since then, he’s been a key part of our team, shaping projects like Evin Senior Living and Franklin Storage Mart, while also bringing expertise from past collaborations with brands like Kohl’s, Marcus Theaters, Pick ‘n Save, Guess, and Louis Vuitton DFS Galleria.

Edgar shares: “I find inspiration in expressing my artistic talent through the design and construction process, bringing unique ideas to life.”

We’re so glad Edgar is part of the Thrive team and can’t wait to see the amazing projects he’ll create in the years ahead!

Wauwatosa Self Storage Taking Shape!

Watching Wauwatosa Self Storage take shape has been exciting!

At over 89,000 sq. ft., this project redefines storage with a drive-thru design, climate-controlled interiors, and efficient circulation for ease of access. Every detail—from the variety of unit sizes to the high-speed entry doors—was planned to deliver both function and flexibility.

We’re proud to see this modern facility open as a valuable addition to the Milwaukee-Wauwatosa community.

Driving Design Forward for Jewell Trucking

DESIGN REVEAL: We’re excited to share a first look at the renderings for Jewell Trucking’s new 16,800-square-foot facility—now in design development. This ground-up construction project features a secured and fenced in yard for trailer storage to support privacy and operational efficiency. The building will provide new offices, 6 truck maintenance bays and a dedicated truck wash bay for their growing business. They are excited to stay in the Muskego community just down the block from their current facility.

Stay tuned as we bring this transportation hub to life.

Crafting Calm, One Sketch at a Time

Before a single blueprint is drafted, we take time to define the project’s personality.

By exploring colors, textures, and forms early in the process, we create a visual foundation that guides every design decision—from the first sketch to the final finish.

For Honest Teeth in Elm Grove, we began the creative journey the old-school way—pen and paper—sketching ideas to reimagine an existing building into a fresh, modern dental practice. From there, we developed a curated palette of imagery and materials that set the tone for the entire design.

Calming blue and gray tones paired with warm stone elements helped us craft a welcoming environment focused on enhancing the patient experience. Because going to the dentist should feel just a little more relaxing.
