The design creates a transition from the residential neighborhood on the west and the very busy Montana Avenue intersection to the east. Using a hierarchy of gable shapes and mix of wood siding and brick veneer, the building successfully evolves from residential scale to commercial along the north elevation. A lighted glass corner attracts customers to Montana Eyecare’s significantly expanded selection of eye and sunglasses. The new 12,000 clinic provides expanded display space for over 1,500 frames as well as generous amounts of natural daylight, open dynamic reception and waiting areas, and comfortable exam rooms. The result is a design that increases staff efficiency, provides better customer comfort, expands the retail business, and allows for clinic growth.
