Antenora Architects has been working closely with Kwik Chek Food Stores on the development of their first ground up store locations to be located in the vicinity of Austin, Texas. These new prototypes seek to tie together the Kwik Chek brand image with the building architecture. A distinctive sloped roof and plentiful glass entry element provides a visual que to the customer as to what awaits them on the inside. A simple pallet of materials on both the inside and outside of the building creates a building that is unique yet reduces visual clutter which helps to focus the customers attention to the various food offerings and merchandise. Large areas of storefront and clerestory glazing will allow an abundance of natural light creating an airy and open feel that will have positive affects on both customers and staff.

Antenora Architects collaborated with Kwik Chek’s branding firm, the Three Sixty Group, on the branding and signage elements throughout the prototype with the goal to create a holistic branded environment.
