Sioux Falls Food Co+op

Design Summary

Following a devastating fire, then-Co-op Natural Foods looked for a new location and found a vacant video rental store on a busy intersection. Koch Hazard was hired after a competitive process to design a space efficient, cost-effective and re-branded space. The design stripped away materials, inserted a porous wood slat system in a standard unfinished ceiling grid and provided simple wayfinding. The more visible location coupled with an inviting new shopping experience doubled sales from the previous location within the first year. When the adjacent tenant moved out, KH reworked and expanded the design to double the new space and set up the Co-op for many more years of growth.

Koch Hazard Architects provided complete architectural, interior design and construction administration services for this addition and renovation.
