Stone Summit

Looking to build upon the success of their first location, Stone Summit wanted to create the ultimate indoor climbing experience with larger and taller climbing walls. With a program to create a 60 foot climbing wall, bouldering area, kids climbing area, yoga / party rooms and a full service fitness room the existing abandoned Circuit City was skillfully and surgically repurposed. The design approach sculpted the existing structure allowing targeted diffused light to penetrate as much of the climbing arena as possible, layered and separated interior spaces using solid and translucent barriers, and developed a refined industrial aesthetic taking cue from climbing equipment using a mixture of steel, wood, glass, and shipping containers. Through this process Office of Design was able to deliver the ultimate destination for indoor rock climbers.
