The owners of Arch’s Frozen Yogurt desired a modern, sustainably-designed building to reinforce their presence on the busiest commercial corridor in Charlottesville.The building is placed forward on the site with inviting exterior patios and decks, encouraging pedestrian traffic and providing views of the woods adjoining the site.
The façade incorporates large expanses of glass to allow the inside activity to be viewed from the street, creating a connection with the urban corridor. Passive solar design, mechanical systems and landscaping incorporated sustainable and green-building strategies were into the design of the building.
