As the world eagerly anticipates the upcoming Paris 2024 Olympics, the city is not just preparing for a global sports spectacle but also showcasing its rich architectural heritage and modern advancements
The evolution of the grocery store—and the associating functions—is quite fascinating.
Publix has always been a leader in customer satisfaction, setting high standards not only in service but also in the architectural design of its stores.
COR3 Design is excited to share our recent progress on a significant retail development project in Millbrook, Alabama.
At COR3 Design, we are constantly inspired by our travels–whether they are site visits to another part of the country or vacations around the world. It is no accident that our time spent off the clock is typically in pursuit of cultural stimulation.
Completed in 1996, the Dancing House was a groundbreaking collaboration between Croatian-Czech architect Vlado Milunić and Canadian-American architect Frank Gehry. Their vision was a radical departure from Prague’s traditional aesthetic–a deconstructivist design of undulating concrete and glass meant to evoke the image of a pair of dancers, symbolizing the newly liberated nation emerging onto the world stage.
The pandemic highlighted the importance of industrial spaces because warehousing is crucial to support the demands of e-commerce. According to CNBC, Amazon alone has more than 110 active fulfillment centers in the United States and more than 185 globally (SOURCE). These facilities range from 600,000 to 1 million square feet in size.
Google’s most recent venture in New York, transforming the 1930’s St. John’s Terminal into its headquarters, is a strong case study on innovative architecture, environmental responsibility, and the power of teamwork, which are all values we have at COR3 Design.
When COR3 Design first started back in 2011, our bread and butter was designing retail spaces for our clients. We were deeply embedded in national chain stores like Hobby Lobby, Ross Dress for Less, and Beall’s Outlet–to name a few. Our work took us across the country for site visits and project updates, and we gained licensure in dozens of states.
At COR3, we’re always looking toward the future of architecture and design–particularly when it comes to making building processes more efficient, sustainable, and adaptable. One innovation that has been growing in popularity since 2020 is modular construction. For the uninitiated, modular construction is when different parts of a building are constructed offsite, and later assembled at the construction site.
