Work has begun on this three-story, modern design, medical office building on W. College, just north of the Kendall Yards Lofts II building.

Located on the north end of the district near the Spokane Regional Health District, the focus is on outpatient medical, dental, and other services.   The structure consists of concrete slab on grade with a structural steel backbone, metal decks and a curtain wall glazing system. The design is keeping with much of the rest of the commercial district with concrete filled metal stairs, tube railing, a floating staircase and glass guardrail system.

As landscape architects, Stone Creek Land Design & Development blends client-driven objectives with artistry, flair, and originality; critically evaluating several design alternatives in their efforts to develop the prime solution.  Safety, maintenance, resource conservation, cost, aesthetics, and vernacular context are all elements incorporated in the solution that best tells the clients’ story.  Stone Creek design studio is active on several platforms including public and private projects such as the Whitworth University Music Facility Expansion, Opportunity Elementary School, Rooftop Terraces, and several luxury waterfront properties throughout the Inland Northwest.

Set for completion in 2017, the modernization and expansion of Opportunity Elementary School is being designed to improve student safety, as well as meet Central Valley School District’s current educational goals and objectives.  In addition to a new gymnasium and additional classroom space, the project includes a total site redesign with new playground amenities and an educational resource conservation garden as part of the building’s central courtyard space.

Northwest Farm Credit Headquarters is renovating their new headquarters.  Along with significant interior modifications, a new parking layout complements an enhanced building entry as well a branch entrance and employee plaza which supports adjacent conference space.  Outdoor furniture, walkways, container plantings, a community garden, and perimeter fitness loop are all part of the landscape program.  Construction completion is set for 2017.

As part of a major vertical building expansion, this rooftop space was designed to provide an upgraded patio environment for employees and business guests.  The terrace’s panoramic views reach from Mt. Spokane to Downtown and the river.  The space includes an elevated paver deck, rooftop container plantings, shade sails, LED lighting, overhead trellis, outdoor heaters, and ample furniture to facilitate intimate or group conversations.  Renovations are set to be completed in the Spring of 2017.
