Ever’Man’s site consists of one city block in Pensacola, FL. The property boundary makes up 2 acres encompassing three existing buildings, the main grocery store, an administrative building and a former print shop building converted into a community center providing a cool, utilitarian gathering space while preserving its function with an urban edge. A newly designed open green space between the renovated buildings at street level was created to accommodate recreation, farmers’ markets, outdoor vendors and other events, while bike racks, electric carcharging stations and retention ponds were also added. In developing the interior of the store, the design teams set out to create a warm, inviting feel capped by different earth tones and appealing signage and murals throughout.
