TRIAD Participates in National Design Challenge

TRIAD Architects was selected as one of four participants in DDI magazine's 2005 Design Challenge. Each year DDI (Design & Display Ideas) magazine selects firms from its Top 100 listing to come up with creative and cutting-edge solutions for a sector of retail in need of revitalization. The challenge - reinventing the convenience store - calls on participants to rethink the convenience store concept, one that has not changed in more than 30 years.
.
The overall objective of DDI's Design Challenge is to surface, and give voice to, new ideas that might benefit the retail design industry or the convenience store sector. The selected firms do so by hypothetically re-doing an existing convenience store retailer or by inventing an entirely new concept. Each firm submitted renderings and floorplans to help visually communicate its store design. The designs were featured in the June 2005 issue of DDI magazine.

In addition, DDI's sister publication, Convenience Store News, invited all four firms to its annual Future Forum, at which each presented its individual convenience store concept. This Future Forum will took place June 2005 in Charleston, South Carolina.

TRIAD Architects Receives International Store Design Award
*As published in the February 3, 2005 addition of AIA Columbus

TRIAD Architects received the Award of Merit in the International Store Design Competition sponsored by the Institute of Store Planners and Visual Merchandising & Store Design magazine for its project with Seven Seventeen Credit Union in Warren, Ohio. The awards ceremony took place on January 17 in New York City with the client and TRIAD's president, Peter S. Macrae, AIA and project manager, YuFung Tim Lai attending.

TRIAD developed a new environmental brand for the credit union in an effort to help distinguish Seven Seventeen from its competitors. The concept of "dialogue banking" drove the new design. Dialogue banking removes traditional barriers between teller and member, fostering a personalized, customer service-oriented retail environment.

TRIAD Architects is a full-service architecture and interior design firm located in Columbus, Ohio. Formed as an educational design firm in 1997, TRIAD has since extended its services into the retail and private sector markets. With current projects valued at more than a quarter billion dollars, TRIAD is one of the fastest growing architectural design firms in Columbus.

Vaud-Vilities Partners with TRIAD Architects in NorthlandPARK Project

Vaud-Vilities Productions hired TRIAD Architects to design its new home - The NorthlandPARK Event Center, formerly Northland Mall's free-standing movie theater building. Serving as the Environmental Brand Designer and the Architect of Record, TRIAD will help fulfill the mission of Vaud-Vilities by preparing the existing facility to accommodate public performances, special events and other community activities.

TRIAD will begin by modifying the lobby into a multi-purpose space for rehearsals, banquets, receptions and special events. The space will feature a 70-foot long mirrored wall. Live performance stages will also be constructed in the facility's west wing, which will be used primarily for rehearsals and performances. The facility's east wing will be used for the building, painting and storage of sets, flats and props.

NorthlandPARK Event Center's ample space offers opportunities for other choral, dance and theatrical organizations to make it their home as well. The complex will be the subject of a capital campaign to raise funds for its on-going development.
