ADA is very grateful to Anchor Coffee for allowing us to assist with their new Winston-Salem location at Bailey Power Plant.

This is Anchor Coffee’s first location outside of their home base of Wilkesboro, NC. Anchor contacted ADA and asked us to assist with their upfit in this former R. J. Reynolds To***co Company power plant. The 20 foot tall rugged concrete space perfectly fit the industrial vibe Anchor was seeking.

ADA worked with Anchor to preserve the existing character of the space while completing the build-out of the coffee shop. The building manager made a set of the original gear and chain from the power plant available for our use. We generated a feature wall for its installation.

May 1 was the 28th anniversary of opening the Architectural Design Associates doors for the first time. That day started with a hope and a prayer. The hope was to serve churches, and the prayer was that God would bless that hope. In the ensuing 28 years, He has blessed that hope abundantly. Not only with church projects (330+), but with more than 850 total projects! Happy Birthday ADA.
