Ruozzi Brothers Collection Auto Restoration Showroom and Workshop with 7 Luxury 2-story loft apartments above. An undulating ceiling evokes the rhythm of the sea in this award-winning restaurant interior. Stone and Copper Clad 2-story home overlooking future fruit grove. The home is designed to offer on-grade dining patio, with additional rooftop green-roof patios, and an astronomical observation tower.
Visitors are greeted by the immense glass walled conference room as they enter this award-winning office interior. The floors were simply refurbished, while the patina of aged plaster on the rear wall of the conference room was preserved as-is. Honestly, we just asked the question "what kind of space would I want?" and then we just drew it up. Apparently, others thought is was pretty cool, too.
This is one of our favorite projects, because we just love this organization and its people. We wanted to explore that tenuous distinction between inside and outside, right where they really converge - the front door.

Services
We at R+D ARCHITECTURE love to design buildings, homes, and work spaces.
We especially love to design them to be as green (sustainable) as possible.
We have completed LEED projects for larger commercial enterprises and EnergyStar projects for private homes.
We strive to make places people love and care about.
We love working closely with our clients to understand what they are all about, and love analyzing the situation at hand to determine what challenges and opportunities exist.
People hire us (and come back again and again) because we are really good at helping them make really good decisions.

Besides exterior shell improvements, the project included a complete re-building and extension of the landscape features - stone retaining wall, brick paver sidewalk, new stairs, and restored lighting.
Two new entries were created - one for University of Scranton students, and a separate one for Hildebrandt Learning Center.
Minimalist canopies were fitted to provide weather protection.
A new energy efficient elevator and entry lobby were designed to give access to the upper, housing floors of the building.

1. Locate the Run Shoe Store in the Entry space, and the gym completely to the rear.
This allows casual shoppers to enter the retail component without having to navigate through what would otherwise be a "members only" area.
2. Eliminate the "Locker Room" and create individual single-occupancy WCs, Shower rooms, and Change rooms.
Not only is this an enhanced configuration popular with members, it allows for greater privacy, and better turnover, all the far smaller footprint, leaving more space for the main "Gym" area.

We designed this adaptive use of the former Hotel Easton as condominiums.
The HVAC system is a unique 2-pipe system, in order to eliminate need for nay new openings in the facade - a registered historic facade.
Keim limestone rehabilitation products; landscape and site design; LEED registered (Gold level).
The natatorium, which houses an urban indoor pool, also doubles as much needed outdoor space off the "Gold Room, " one of the small banqueting spaces in the building.
The aesthetic is purposefully utilitarian, given the alley location.

Our goal for the addition and the renovations was to create a building that fit into the 4 x 4 and auto lifestyle.
The project doubled their retail space, added more storage space and we carved out some office/conference space on the second floor for their growing support staff, and two new loading areas.
The facility also was in need of some public ammenities, like bathrooms and a waiting area.
This all had to be done while they were still 100% open for business.
Due to the parking lot frontage we also wanted to raise some of the feature elements higher to get above the trucks parked in front of the building.
