Led by the visionary minds of PATTERNS, an esteemed design practice helmed by Georgina Huljich and Marcelo Spina, this groundbreaking project breathes new life into a bowstring truss warehouse from the 40s. Now emerging as a structure at the corner of Victory Blvd. and Troost Ave., this space has become a beacon of contemporary strategies, seamlessly integrated into its urban fabric.
Through intricate massing, diagonal slicing and the design of beautiful courtyards, Victory Wellness Center not only serves as a medical facility but also as a cultural landmark, enriching the public realm with open space and captivating the imagination of all who encounter it. With a nod to emerging technologies, this project stands as a testament to invention, where design meets innovation, and the boundaries of possibility are redefined.
