Ethos Concept Throughout our designs, we chose to express our interpretation of Moscow’s fundamental character or values. We continued onto the restaurant area of 6th street with the Seafood restaurant to give a type of food that is lacking in the area. We added Almon Through Park to beautify an already highly traveled path. We remodeled a failing internal atmosphere of the Daily News Building while making space for a company called Terra Graphics. We created Townhome living for a new type of housing in the area. And finally, we added to the community aspect that Moscow already has with a Communal Kitchen with residential above.

Economy Concept We anticipated the restaurant to do well in the economy because of it being a new type of restaurant in the area. Residential will be affordable and quickly sought after for the location between the University of Idaho and Downtown Moscow. As the world moves to a more paperless lifestyle, the Daily Newspaper Company has less of a need for their entire building. We designed a condensed space for them and offered additional space for Terra Graphics, a local environmental engineering and design company, which is thriving in the current economy.
Environment Concept Throughout all of our design strategies, we chose utilize Sustainable design. These are evident in green roofs, increased vegetation throughout the corridor, ventilation, and daylighting, among others.
