Choo Choo Express
We are an architecture and urban design practice located in Downtown Chattanooga. We have experience in the design and renovation of medical facilities, urban mixed-use developments, educational buildings, commercial centers, and community-led projects.
Our client had the unique idea of making a car wash look like a train. He hoped it would entertain kids and attract families. Learning how to integrate the unique design with car wash equipment was a significant challenge. We used our expertise in the design of other complex project types like intensive care units to tackle this project.
The City of Chattanooga hired our team to refurbish the Aquarium Plaza's only bathroom facilities and upgrade them with long-lasting materials that won't fall out of fashion -- all while keeping a low budget. We used grand entries and smart materials to achieve their goals.
The 28th CDC contracted our team to design a building that would catalyze the revitalization of the MLK corridor. Referencing our passion for urban redevelopment, we used urbanist principles to create a building that would encourage pedestrians to walk the boulevard.

We document your goals, needs, wants, equipment lists, and building-use information to develop project objectives.
Site planning can get complicated when you need to interpret municipal code. We use our expertise to plan building placement.
After understanding your goals, we create preliminary floor plans, elevations, and other drawings to illustrate the scope of your project.
We prepare the necessary documentation Contractors need to construct your project.
We obtain detailed bids for your project from General Contractors.
We visit your construction site to observe the Work, respond to challenges, coordinate changes, document progress, and provide additional instruction.
We render two dimensional schematics into 3-D colored images for use in marketing.
We work with community stakeholders to plan communities with a holistic, resident-guided approach.
We create drawings for a wide variety of uses including casework, site documentation, and furniture layouts.
