This time last year, as one of two finalists,
Visbeen Associates Inc was asked to create three design concepts for
Wolverine World Wide's riverfront property in downtown Rockford, MI. With their qualifications and expertise in large scale projects and sustainable design, we decided to join forces with
GMB Architecture+Engineering for the task.
The first concept our team created involved renovating Wolverine's existing building for use as a retail outlet and conference center. The concept also included a retirement village, independent and assisted living facilities, as well as a community pavilion and a riverfront bandstand for summer concerts.
Conceptual Site Plan
Main Street View of Renovated Retail Space
Retirement Community
Courtyard of Retirement Community: Riverfront View
Retirement Vehicular Entry
Riverfront Park Bandstand
Stay tuned next week when we will introduce design concept #2.
