As we close out 2024, and our 10th year in business, we want to take a moment to reflect on the year at Hover Architecture. It’s been a year of growth, new projects, and great connections, all thanks to the support and trust of our clients, consultants, and partners. From taking on new car wash designs and expanding into more self-storage facilities to launching our first “Hover Headlines” newsletter, we’ve been busy working to bring your ideas to life. Let’s look back at some of the biggest moments that shaped our year and set the stage for an even more exciting 2025.
Hover Architecture Celebrates A Decade in Business
This year marks a special milestone for Hover Architecture: a full decade of bringing innovative, efficient, and customer-centered design to the car wash, self-storage, and oil change industries. Reflecting on the journey from where we started to where we are now, we are incredibly grateful for everyone who has made this achievement possible. Your trust, collaboration, and dedication have been the foundation of every project, and we’re thrilled to celebrate this moment with you.
Over the past ten years, we’ve grown in ways we couldn’t have imagined—expanding our services, launching projects that redefine industry standards, and building lasting relationships that drive our passion for what we do. Every project, whether big or small, has been an opportunity to learn, innovate, and bring value to the communities we serve. We’re proud of the difference we’ve made together, and we know none of it would have been possible without your support and belief in our vision.
As we celebrate this milestone, we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has been part of Hover Architecture’s journey. Here’s to our partners who push us to be our best, our clients who inspire us with their goals, and our team who brings these ideas to life. We’re excited for what the next decade holds and look forward to continuing to work with you to build an even brighter future!
Assisting with Franchise Expansion
This year, Hover solidified its reputation as the go-to architectural partner for franchises across the country, delivering tailored solutions that meet the unique needs of growing businesses. One of our standout collaborations has been with Grease Monkey, a franchise leader in automotive maintenance. This partnership reflects our dedication to providing innovative designs that seamlessly blend operational efficiency, brand identity, and customer experience.
As franchises like Grease Monkey expand into new markets, the need for consistent, scalable architectural support becomes critical. At Hover Architecture, we understand the complexities of maintaining brand standards while adapting to the nuances of diverse locations. Whether it’s navigating local regulations, optimizing layouts for functionality, or ensuring projects stay on schedule, our team is committed to delivering results that help franchisees succeed.
Our work with franchises extends beyond design; it’s about building long-term partnerships that empower businesses to thrive. From initial site evaluations to final walkthroughs, Hover Architecture continues to be a trusted resource for franchises looking to grow their footprint with confidence and excellence. We’re proud to support franchisees nationwide as they bring their vision to life, one location at a time.
Expanding in the Storage Space
2024 marked the completion of one of Hover’s biggest projects to date, U-Haul in Gillette, WY. This 100,000+ square-foot facility featured climate-controlled units, advanced security, and innovative exterior designs, reflecting U-Haul’s evolving standards. By managing complex challenges and integrating modern materials, Hover delivered a standout facility that set a benchmark for quality and proved Hover was ready for major storage developments. Additionally, Hover’s collaboration with Personal Warehouse on multiple sites further demonstrated growing expertise in the storage space, solidifying its role as a trusted partner for ambitious developments.

Revit Conversions Continue
In 2024, Hover Architecture continued to play a key role in supporting major carwash equipment distributors through detailed Revit conversions. These efforts have helped streamline workflows, making it easier for distributors to visualize, plan, and execute their projects. By converting traditional designs into Revit models, we enable distributors to integrate their equipment seamlessly into carwash layouts, ensuring functionality and precision.
This work not only supports our partners in the carwash industry but also contributes to improving collaboration across teams, from equipment suppliers to architects and contractors. As technology and design standards evolve, Revit conversions remain an essential step toward creating efficient, future-ready facilities. We look forward to continuing these projects into 2025 as we work to convert entire product portfolios bringing these distributors into the modern age of architecture, engineering, and design.
392 Conceptual Site Plans
In 2024, Hover Architecture achieved an impressive milestone: completing 392 conceptual site plans for our customers. That’s more than one a day every day this year! These plans serve as the foundation for successful projects, providing clients with clear, strategic layouts tailored to their needs. From carwash facilities to storage spaces and franchise expansions, our site plans balance operational efficiency, aesthetics, and compliance with local regulations.
Each plan represents a collaborative effort to bring our clients’ visions to life, addressing unique challenges like maximizing lot utilization, optimizing traffic flow, and integrating brand-specific design elements. Whether it’s a single location or part of a larger rollout, these conceptual plans are a critical first step toward turning ideas into reality.
