About The Show:
“The design of the co-op building was about more than just aesthetics. It was about creating a space that could overcome challenges and leverage its unique features to thrive and grow”.
- Chris Baribeau
Chris Baribeau is more than just an architect; he's a local hero deeply invested in his community. His involvement with Ozark Natural Foods wasn't merely professional; it was a labor of love. Tasked with reinventing a former Safeway and Marvin's IGA, Chris faced more than just design challenges. He had the weight of community expectations on his shoulders.
Chris rose to the occasion with creativity and vision, transforming the space into more than just a store. It became a haven for college students, a gathering spot for locals, and a symbol of the Co-Op's resilience. His design didn't just meet aesthetic goals; it captured the very essence of the Co-Op, turning the location into a hub for communal interaction.
Every time Chris passes by the Co-Op now, he can take pride in knowing his work has had a lasting impact. His story serves as a testament to the transformative power of community involvement, innovative design, and personal dedication.
