The Hilltop Medical Center project is a renovation intended to refashion a contemporary clinic image for the Hilltop Medical Center building built in early 2000. After testing several design options, GARC and the Client came up with a simple and elegant solution that integrates exterior transformation with interior improvements.

The main facade is opened up with large storefront windows to bring in natural light and create a sense of openness from interior and pedestrian experience from exterior. The existing post-modern tower of the main entrance is replaced with a more abstract massing entrance with contemporary material and design language. The design also creates a more welcoming gesture to the customers by utilizing the large entry opening and wood paneling walls and ceiling. The brick walls are painted with two shades of gray color blocks to be presented as an abstract painting. Canopies and planter boxes are included to add depth to the existing flat facade.
