St. Francis Health Centers
Medical Office Building I
Total Square Footage: 100,000
The four-story building is connected to the St. Francis Hospital South Campus by an enclosed walkway at ground level. Office space is leased to a variety of medical practices, including the St. Francis Hospital Physical Therapy Clinic.
Medical Office Building II
Total Square Footage: 144,415
A four-story medical office building was designed for speculative tenants. The exterior of the building was developed to be compatible with the original medical office building. The exterior materials are architectural precast and aluminum store front.
St. Francis Medical Office Building Plainfield
Total Square Footage: 22,077
The Plainfield location was designed for both St. Francis physicians and speculative tenants. The project establishes a neighborhood presence for St. Francis and, as such, was designed to harmonize with the residential neighborhood and create a buffer from the commercial corridor.
St. Francis Medical Office Building at Franklin & Southport Road
Total Square Footage: 22,000
Like other St. Francis Health Centers, this building utilizes a smaller massing and residential forms to harmonize with the neighborhood context.
St. Francis Medical Office Building at US-31 & Southport Road
Total Square Footage: 20,000
This location accommodates both St. Francis physicians and speculative medical tenants. The building occupies a prominent site at the intersection of U.S. 31 and Southport Rd. and is the first two-story variation on the architectural themes common to other St. Francis Health Centers..

Union Associated Physicians Clinic
Community Connection
The clinic’s architecture reflects its role within the broader community. The building is intentionally scaled and detailed to feel integrated with its surroundings rather than isolated from them.
Approachable by Design
Rather than relying on overtly institutional cues, the design incorporates approachable forms, durable yet warm finishes, and a scale that feels familiar and community-oriented. These choices reflect the clinic’s commitment to long-term relationships and continuity of care.
Quietly Transparent
Sightlines, natural light, and material selections were carefully considered to reinforce a sense of calm and transparency throughout the facility

Medical Office Building
Material contrast and artistic detail bring the façade to life.
The exterior façade is a mixture of natural stone, masonry, and metal shingles with curtainwall accenting the large conference space on the second floor. An artistic glass tile feature wall extends from the façade to further enhance visual interest on the exterior.
Spaces were designed with both staff and patients in mind.
A sleek, modern employee break room opens up to a large outdoor dining/gathering terrace designed to accommodate a wide variety of staff functions.

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.

Roche Diagnostics Lab and Office
A Light-Filled Architectural Expression of Roche’s Culture and Technology
In order to maximize natural light while adhering to sustainable design features, detailed 3-D models, sun path studies, building sections, and energy analysis models were developed and analyzed to inform the final design configuration of the west façade shading system and glazing. The design solution creates a carefully designed, glazed west-facing façade which allows very controlled, diffused natural daylight directly into the circulation atrium and deeply into the lab, office, and interaction spaces beyond.
The interior spaces were designed with extensive interior glazing to display the advanced laboratory technology and innovation that is central to Roche’s business success and corporate culture, as well as to allow for the deep penetration of natural light. The Design Team combined very clean, European modernist materials and furnishings with a warm palette of neutral hues and accent colors rooted in the native Indiana landscape.
Advanced, Sustainable Design
As the result of the client’s tech-based culture and high design aspirations, the design team employed a rigorous, multidisciplinary, sustainable design approach to create an uplifting, technologically advanced facility that inspires its scientific staff and expresses its culture of scientific innovation.

IU Health Bloomington Hospital
A Purpose-Built Setting
The new hospital goes beyond replacing an existing facility, offering an environment that supports practice, teaching, learning, and healing while elevating the quality of life for its community.
Designed for Experience
The result of a collaborative process with IU Health, project partners, and CSO, the new IU Health Bloomington Hospital provides a patient, family, physician and employee experience that is welcoming, intuitive, and serene.
CSO guided IU Health through a process for incorporating the work of regional artists.
Connecting the facility with its surroundings, art installations underscore IU Health’s commitment to cultivating community pride while enhancing the emotional wellbeing of those served by the facility.
Coordinating Finish, Form, and Art Into One Experience
With the budget in mind, designers combined building elements, finishes, and art in the form of unique mosaics in public spaces. Each mosaic was custom-designed using artwork submitted by local artists.
