big twin cycles

The design assignment for Big Twin Cycles had two major objectives. The first was to expand the showroom. A recent surge in the popularity of motorcycling had pushed the facility to maximum capacity. The second objective was to make the shop more visible. The site lies next to an interstate exit, but sits approximately eight feet below street level. The new design and focused on taking advantage of the excellent location, while increasing the showroom space. An additional story was added, bringing the building into the visible realm for passerby and creating a window showcase for the mezzanine showroom.

This project won an AIA Award of Honor.
