Ozark Natural Foods Co-Op was recently recognized as World Architects building of the week. Fayetteville based Modus Studio recently shed some light on how its vision for the space has introduced a new staple for the downtown Fayetteville area.

• New vibes: After the closing of an old grocery store, ONF saw its opportunity to influence Fayetteville from a new, more centralized location. Commissioning Modus Studio, the new Co-Op building welcomes everyone from longtime residents to college-aged shoppers.
• Locally sourced: The architects used local and pre-existing elements in its remodel of the store, going so far as to change a parking lot into the biggest front porch in the city. With 32,400 square feet, the store invites the community to eat local, healthy produce from a local, sustainable space.
