CREATING COMMERCIAL ENVIRONMENTS THAT ELEVATE BRAND AND DRIVE PERFORMANCE
Every commercial project begins with a business a business goal. Whether it's a tenant build-out that needs to be open on a retail deadline, a corporate office designed to attract and retain talent, a restaurant concept brought to life with atmosphere and precision, or a flagship retail location that needs to stop traffic, Monarch Design Group approaches every commercial environment as a direct extension of our client's brand and operational strategy. We understand that in commercial work, time is money. Our proprietary Live Design process accelerates decision-making by allowing clients to see design choices reflected in a live 3D model in real time, reducing revision cycles and keeping projects on schedule. From ground-up commercial buildings adaptive reuse of existing structures to fast-track interior renovations and multi-location rollouts, our team brings the same disciplined QA/QC process and target-value design approach to every project, regardless of size. The result is commercial architecture that looks exactly like your brand, performs exactly as intended, and delivers on budget.

For this renovation, Monarch transformed two suites into one large retail space for Five Below in the Gainesville Plaza Shopping Center, working closely with the corporate architect group from Five Below to coordinate the complete design of the exterior and interior space. The team focused on structurally reinforcing existing beams to accommodate new openings and renovated the main façade of the store by doubling the size of the sign and adding a new column with a wall sconce to match the existing structure.

Hand and Stone Spa sought to balance an innovative interior design with their serene branding, while maintaining an efficient use of the space. To meet these needs, Monarch designed a unique serenity room with a bubble wall that integrates colored lights and provides a contemporary, soothing feel, resulting in a peaceful and relaxing visit. To support business goals, Monarch also designed seven extra massage and facial rooms (including a room for couples), a waiting room, and a call center for staff that did not sacrifice retail square footage. Throughout the project, Monarch focused on energy efficiency, adding space for extra storage and occupancy sensors in all of the rooms.

This Community Redevelopment Agency project involved an interior renovation of an existing two-story building in only 14 months. The major challenge was to convert an abandoned, non-conditioned warehouse into a modern, efficient office complex. The Power District Catalyst Building challenged the team at Monarch Design Group to meet a short timeline, tight budget, and no defined site limits. The first phase demanded that the older warehouse be renovated into a mixed office and factory space, and the second phase asked for a tenant build-out on the main 2nd-story structure and an adjoining lobby space. Monarch Design Group worked within the original building's footprint to incorporate existing features. For example, Monarch made use of the original curb cuts, existing paving for dedicated parking, fans, and overhead doors in the proposed design. In addition, Monarch introduced an outdoor open space and green areas for recreational use. After construction, the building now has street-appeal and the Catalyst Building is now occupied by an award-winning robotics company.

Monarch completed both architectural and structural renovations for the Phalanx Warehouse to meet the occupancy requirements for its new use as a Group F-2, Factory Occupancy building. With seamless communication and excellent quality control, Monarch designed first-floor renovations that included office partitions, café railings, and accessibility and egress modifications. On the second floor, the renovations incorporated more office partitions, a new north exit door with an egress balcony, stairs, exit signage, and emergency lighting. The completed renovations ensured that the Phalanx Warehouse more than complied with challenging current building codes for accessibility, while not sacrificing architectural design or efficiency.

Monarch has partnered with Crawford Realty on this new dual-tenant outparcel building located at the Gainesville Plaza Mall. This 3,500-square-foot project requires careful designing around a utility easement that bisects the site. Monarch’s design incorporated the specifications of the local land development code, which requires that the building remain a certain distance from the road, have a front entry, and incorporate a certain façade, while still remaining true to the client’s vision. To accommodate this restaurant’s business goals, the design includes a drive thru that allows for turnaround and more than eight vehicles at once. The project includes steel walls, an Exterior Insulation Finish System, steel joists, and a metal roof with tapered insulation. Finally, for energy efficiency, the rooftop solar panels power the lights in the exterior railings and parking area. Over the course of the initial discovery meetings, live design meetings and next step meetings, Monarch demonstrated the building design with clarity, engaged the contractor, and stayed on budget early on. The Firehouse Project features the perfect example of realistic quantity takeoffs in real time to make fast-acting decisions every step of the way.
