Hancock Health Gateway Clinic
The waiting area breaks the healthcare mold.
Phase I of the project was a building to house an imaging center, lab, and urgent care. The design team took the data gathered during visioning sessions and crafted a concept for a single waiting room supporting all three services that would face the existing forest on the property. Unlike most healthcare environments, the waiting area offers café and lounge seating, encouraging patients to work or socialize while waiting for their appointments.
Wayfinding was another component of the design considered from day one.
When patients are called back to their appointments, they pass by a backlit biophilic image, adding to a feeling of relaxation and reassuring patients that they have come to the right place. These images are used again in the corresponding signage, creating a “mini-brand” for each suite. In time, the entire campus will be branded using natural imagery and building-specific colors, replacing the anxiety of a doctor’s visit with a sense of calm and control.
Planning for Future Growth
Following Phase I, CSO worked with Hancock Health to design and build-out the second floor. Phase II was completed just a few years after the initial project.

Spaces that Foster Collaboration, Innovation, and Wellness
Within the office space, a variety of workspaces, meeting rooms, and communal areas foster collaboration and innovation. Key amenity spaces prioritize employee wellness and productivity, from the expansive fitness center to the Mothers’ Room, café, and health clinic.
Designed for Innovation and Efficiency
Externally, the facility stands as a beacon of modernity and efficiency. Panelized precast concrete juxtaposed with expansive storefront and curtain wall window systems evoke a sense of innovation and dynamism. The rhythmic fenestration of the office and lobby areas invites abundant natural light and views, while energy efficient, low-e insulated glass helps control heat gain and manages energy consumption and operational costs.
A Facility at the Nexus of Ingenuity and Possibility
Located within the Miami Valley Research Park in Beavercreek, Ohio – a suburb of Dayton – the facility emerges as a nexus of ingenuity and possibility. Manufacturing operations focus on engine components and mechanical systems for civil, military aviation, and aero derivative applications.

The Taft Center
Classic Materials and Signature Details Create a Fresh Legal Space
Designers incorporated simple forms with classic material choices, balanced by distinctive design features. These elements, coupled with the playful constellation of lights and identifiable repetition of the signature Taft forward slash, create a space that is fresh and exclusive in the legal profession.
Transparent Design Enhanced by Acoustic Precision and Iconic Graphics
Understanding the sensitivities of the business that Taft conducts, and their desire to maximize the glass within the conference rooms, the design team worked closely with CSO’s acoustician to design an all-glass system that maximizes acoustic benefits. This resulted in nearly uninterrupted walls of glass, which terminate at a back-printed glass panel that features downtown’s iconic Monument Circle.
Inviting Street‑Front Café
The café space, which is strategically located to incorporate a street-front presence, offers an inviting urban feel with a natural palette.

Wells Quadrangle Residence Halls and Dining Facility
A Seamless Addition to Goodbody Hall Enhances Dining and Outdoor Gathering at Wells Quad
The design of the addition to Goodbody Hall required a solution that integrated seamlessly into the architectural character of Wells Quadrangle. The 1-story addition emerges from the base of the existing Goodbody Hall, and houses a dining area with open views toward the quad. A roof terrace above is accessed from both the exterior grade and the second level. This elevated terrace provides options for outdoor seating and a sweeping overlook to the quad.
Coordinated Renovation Maximizes Space While Delivering Modern Systems and Student Housing
The overall project required careful coordination to maximize usable space while accommodating updated MEP systems and the technology infrastructure demanded by today’s residence halls.
The renovation created accommodations for 174 students. The room configuration is comprised of a mix of 2-bedroom apartments, 2-bedrooms suites, single rooms, and double rooms. A variety of restroom configurations are available depending on the room type.
