Ross Elliott Jewelers takes Balaity to Indiana

Fresh on the heels of the Diamond Vault project comes Ross Elliott Jewelers, located in Terre Haute, Indiana.  For this project we formed a team with Indianapolis based Peter Winters Architect, a collaboration that will provide a comprehensive and economical solution for the Owner.  We are all challenged by the existing bank building, but are currently working with the general contractor to price various design solutions.  Interior demolition is already complete, leaving one great architectural feature intact: there is a 32' high atrium with a pyramidal skylight that will flood light into the new retail space.
