The design of the Habitat for Humanity ReStore in Peoria, Illlinois was a small volunteer project that Evan Spirrison and I worked on. The company was moving from the back of the building it rented into the front. They wanted a simple and cheap way of making the exterior of their storefront and display area to stand out. On the exterior I proposed striped awnings over the windows, light sconces, signage, and photo montages (these were very important to the folks at the ReStore at the time). On the interior, we proposed removing the existing carpet to expose the original intricate tile work underneath, a wall that showed the varying stages of house construction, and additional Habitat for Humanity signage.
Ultimately, the changes we proposed for the interior were carried out. The canopy and central signage on the front of the building was built as well. However, the sconces and photo-montages have yet to be installed. Nevertheless, it was a fun project for a good cause.
