Andrus Sales and Service buys and sells used and new restaurant equipment. What started as a hypothetical facade renovation turned into an eight month project soon after meeting with the owner. After seeing how many hundreds of machines get thrown out of his stockpile every year, the concept centered on having the recycled panels be part of the facade. The stainless steel panels became the cladding over the existing brick veneer. The panels are all very unique but are organized in a way to tell a cohesive story. Graffiti is widely found and accepted in this neighborhood, and was used as a mural to integrate the panels. The three main components each represent an integral factor in the business’ success: the brick reminds visitors of the building’s history; the metal panels, the business itself; and the graffiti, the personality of the surrounding neighborhood.
