About the Project

Studio Mas worked with FBSEVA and Plans and Projects, LLC to create a holistic design for the 17,000 SF Western Tidewater Branch and Community Produce Hub in Franklin, VA. The location aims to serve Franklin, Suffolk, Isle of Wight, Southampton and Sussex counties.

The design includes a large marketplace, gathering spaces, offices, and several multipurpose rooms for workshops and events. The Furniture, Art + Graphics, and Finish palette for the project pull colors from the fresh and vibrant brand of the Foodbank. A variety of greens, oranges, and reds paired with warm wood tones help reinforce the Foodbank's welcoming atmosphere to foster community gathering.
