Madison Axe | Stoughton, WI

This commercial architecture project features the design of a new Madison Axe entertainment venue in Madison, Wisconsin. Founded by longtime friends Brandon Long and Kyle Van Abel, the space brings the energy and success of their Appleton location into a new market.

The layout was designed to support axe-throwing lanes, gathering areas, and a dynamic social atmosphere while maintaining efficient traffic flow and safety. This adaptive commercial build-out showcases strategic space planning tailored to a growing recreational entertainment brand.

The Nurturing Tree

So far 2023 has brought us a lot of different projects, but this one is special. The Nurturing Tree - Early Learning Academy opened this year in Brodhead, WI. Would you believe this beautiful day care used to be a Mechanics/Auto Detail shop? This shop had been abandoned and left for dead, but the owner of The Nurturing Tree had different ideas. She resurrected this old, abandoned building and made it her own. As you can see, she was able to keep some of the interior the way that it had been originally and put her own spin on other parts. We were so excited to help her transform this building in to what it is today.
