the precedents i chose to study for "the hatchery" are mostly results of "collaborations"-- groups of concerned individuals that work together for a cause and the greater good. they vary from modest to grand in scale.

the store @ design collaborative | north of Atlanta in Canton, GA
- great use of unitary urbanism on a 'smaller' scale
- promotes "reuse & reimagine"
- retail space
- design laboratory offering the firm’s existing collection of branded products
- commercial & residential design services
this design firm offers existing products and services to the community in their street-level retail space that "provides a fun and innovative way to channel the team's creativity in an environment that's ideal for experimentation and exploration".
i thought this piece on their philosophy was great:
"When the economy hands you lemons, simply put, make lemonade! This was an effort to take control of our destiny. It was an effort that required the whole team to implement, but in the process became a rallying point for everyone involved, instilling a sense of ownership and pride in the company and optimism for the future. The unofficial Store motto—
A retail stream-of-consciousness for cockeyed optimists—became our mantra. Great brands have the power to engage the public, create movements and alter the course of local communities. Such grassroots efforts can be ignited by emotional and intellectually compelling design. Even with minuscule budgets and unrelenting economic conditions, great design can move people, create change and advance causes." --
