Gainesville Walmart

The city of Gainesville, held the line on an architectural statement by refusing to say “Big Box!!”
The architects developed one of the most pleasing big box stores I had seen in some time, combining colored CMU, split face, and the Quik Brik block that creates a 4x16 face brick appearance that most of those entering probably think is actually a clay masonry unit. The project consisted of split face and smooth colored units and 2 blends of the Quik Brik CMU. The combination of colors along with a pleasing articulation on all faces of the store scaled this “big box” down to an approachable and colorfully pleasing retail establishment. |
