MOSKOWITZ DERMATOLOGY
Completed in May of 2022, HIVE lead the design for a 20,000 sq. ft. facility for Dr. Jeff Moskowitz’s dermatology practice which serves over 38,000 patients annually. From the initial concept phase, we worked closely with the builder, architect, vendors and client to design every element of this new construction project. Areas of focus included the exam, surgery and autoclave rooms, auxiliary support rooms, and the 4,000 sq. ft. lobby designed with a 27 ft. tree root, selected by Dr. Jeff as its backdrop. Many elements of the practice were custom-designed by HIVE - providing innovative solutions, support to the amazing staff and an overall positive experience for the patients.
GEMELLI BY STRADA ITALIANO
Opening its doors in September 2022 in Asheville, NC, Gemelli is a modern-day Italian trattoria, infused with elements of a new world alimentari, that serves those looking to slow down as well as those in a hurry to get home. By acting as a gathering spot, Gemelli aims to connect customers with one another while also connecting consumers to local vendors through thoughtfully curated products and freshly prepared foods. A handsome setting for a client meeting, casual enough to visit with family and friends, Gemelli provides a sense of belonging through a relaxed indoor lounge area and a welcoming piazza where customers can greet new and familiar faces passing by.
AUCTION HOUSE
Currently under full renovation, this former auction house from the 1940s in Fletcher, North Carolina will host five tenants owned and operated by KO Restaurant Group. The Auction House will serve as a second location for Greenville favorites KO Burger and Mercado Cantina. The fully renovated 6,600+ square feet will also welcome three new restaurants — Fish Camp 25, Blue Collar Bourbon Social, and AuctionAuction House Wine Bar. Outdoor seating on both levels will overlook a half-acre grassy lawn complete with more seating and a fully equipped stage for live music and other events. Like the fun brands about to call this place home, the building itself is full of character. Linsey and her collaborating partners are especially excited about the exposed wood and metal framed ceilings and look forward to incorporating as much site-salvaged wood into built-in features. Many local creatives are coming together as part of HIVE Collective to bring this unique concept to life.
ENVISION EYECARE
With the desire to serve his patients in the best way possible while standing out among their generic competitors, Dr. Golson reached out to HIVE for help in designing a new location for his practice. Our team worked to design an environment that represented the appreciation of unique design. After researching the demographic data, we explored options of combining it with unique ways of displaying frames and supporting staff throughout their day. We continued our efforts to the exterior of the building, including landscape design and the quarterly rotation of the window displays for the practice. Dr. Golson reported a 37% increase in retail sales and a 40% increase in patients within a year of operating within his new facility. We happily pop in on a regular basis and do quick refreshes of product displays as needed.
KILGO EYECARE
After spending a year designing her new practice with a corporate optometry design firm, Susanne Kilgo asked HIVE to take over the project. Afraid of losing patients, Dr. Kilgo gave us just 60 days to turn the existing orthodontist office into the beautiful optometry practice that it is today. Our team listened to Susanne to glean a better understanding of who she is as a doctor and how she wanted to be represented to her patients as well as her staff. Some of our solutions included showcasing her frames to optimize ease and increase sales, and custom-designing work stations that functioned well for all. Our team stepped up to the plate and worked around the clock to produce all of the displays, reception areas and exam rooms for Susanne and her team, and at half the cost of what she would have paid if hiring Optometry suppliers.
HAZEL TWENTY
When powerhouse Entrepreneur Lexi Diyaso was ready to take her mobile clothing boutique to the next level, she called on Hive to help. Securing a prominent location in downtown AVL allowed her to fulfill her dreams of a full women’s retail and lifestyle shop. Hive designed a super cool boutique vibe with our display designs, back wall murals, color palette and black and white photography of local fashion model wearing Hazel Twenty clothing. Copper accents were added throughout. Lexi hosts a DJ dance party every Friday in the shop and has since expanded into a second location featuring men’s clothing.
RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS
“Working with Gini Marshall on the expansion of our optometric office was like having our own personal “easy” button. She has a gentle, confident, unhurried way of managing her projects, and was knowledgeable and precise in her methods and was always conscious of the deadlines in which she was working. Every aspect of the project seemed to fall miraculously into place without a hitch. [...] At every turn of our project she had the answer to any difficulties or issues that arose. She had access to a vast number of resources and contractors to cover any seen or unforeseen piece of our project. It was truly an amazing experience to work with Gini and see her deliver the product that we desired.”
