Restaurant Conversion

This project converted a former retail space into a vibrant upscale restaurant. The comprehensive renovation included installation of a commercial kitchen, custom bar areas, varied dining environments, and distinctive design elements that establish the restaurant's unique identity.
The Challenge
Converting the space required significant infrastructure upgrades, including new mechanical systems, grease interceptors, and exhaust systems, all while coordinating with landlord requirements and local regulations.
