Congratulations to not one, but two firms at Corrugated Box, 3north and Circle S Studio, for their esteemed recognition as Rising 25 stars, qualifying as two of the fastest growing, privately held companies in the Richmond metropolitan area.
The Rising 25 honor, sponsored by The Greater Richmond Chamber of Commerce, the Richmond Times-Dispatch, and KPMG, is bestowed upon firms that are privately held, headquartered in the Richmond community, and which have maintained an impressive, qualifying percentage growth over a five-year period beginning in 2000. A complete list of honorees appeared in the January 9th edition of the Times-Dispatch’s “Metro Business,” section, and Circle S Studio and 3north partners will join their peers on January 26th to be honored at the 16th Annual Rising 25 celebration.
Accolades go out to Circle S Studio and 3north for adding yet another dimension to the success of their design firms by distinguishing themselves as part of the Rising 25 in a highly competitive business community.
Morgan Pierce, the design director for Grace Street Home Additions, is observing his 40th birthday. If you see him around, please stop by and offer your condolences. Note: you may not recognize Morgan, as he’s sporting some new growth on his face. He denies that this new beard is part of his impending mid-life crisis.
The ‘Box was ablaze with candlelight, music, and masses of orange roses at the end of the workday on Wednesday, November 16, when the Corrugated Partners hosted a cocktail party and kick-off meeting for MINT, the Manchester Industrial Neighborhood Team. MINT, whose mission is “to promote the economic development of the Old Manchester area as it is developed into a mixed use community” ¦ while retaining the historic character of the area, and facilitating safety, enjoyment, and increasing property values’ is made up largely of owners, residents, and developers in the district, but certainly open to all interested parties.

The Corrugated Box Community bids a fond and bittersweet farewell to Amos Willis and Erin Rensink, the hip, pleasant, and productive architectural interns who came to 3north in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. We hate to say goodbye, but we can appreciate what it means to be able to go home to New Orleans again. (more…)
Grace Street Home Additions will implement its patented foundation system the week of November 7th on Somerset Road in Richmond. This system is the first component of Grace Street’s unique approach to shortening the duration for “delivering†residential additions. It preempts the need for excavation, forming, and pouring of conventional concrete and brick foundations, and can be installed regardless of weather conditions. The foundation will resemble a traditional one, but will be installed in a fraction of the time while matching existing finishes and offering superior performance. Immediately following will be the installation of the panelized wall framing system resulting in a structure going from ground to roof in a matter of hours instead of days or weeks.
Guy Crittenden will be adding his name to the Corrugated Box directory this November. Crittenden Studio offers a wide range of creative services, including commercial photography, digital imaging, illustration, fine art, and large format printing. Featuring a new age gallery, Crittenden Studio will host monthly exhibits of works by local and national artists and will provide event space for personal and company gatherings. With more than 1500 square feet of photography studio and a large digital studio with high-end workstations, the company provides clients with a unique production experience in an inspiring, cutting edge environment.
While already home to several creative businesses, Corrugated Box still has some excellent spaces available to lease. If you’re looking for an interesting place to set up shop, or a new location to revitalize your business, check out the details. Interested parties should call Scott Ukrop at 804.232.0120 x207.
