This high end billiards and restaurant facility was a $4.2 million dollar dream of a former dentist since he was 15. This site is 20,000 sq. ft. Supporting a full service restaurant and bar with a frozen drink rail in the bar top and 2 frozen shelves on the back bar for specialty vodka’s.

The facility also has 43 pool tables and 2 unique VIP areas for those special events.

The goal was to target the Bellevue crowd and the every varying demographics of the neighborhood as well as the business traveler who is staying at the connecting hotel.

The Beach House is the former Foghorn. This location sports a beautiful breathtaking view of Lake Washington and the owners wanted to bring it back to its ‘fun’ personality. We designed it to take full advantage of the lake view and outdoor seating opportunities. The owners have established a dockside delivery of food as it is the only restaurant with its own private dock. The interiors honor the original architecture of the space and opened up the vast ceiling designs that had previously been hidden by years of monotone paint. It sports a young contemporary, Northwest style and is another neighborhood favorite. View their website by clicking here.

The idea for Southlake Bar & Grill was created by brothers John and James Schmidt (who also own the Greenlake Bar and Grill and Eastlake Bar and Grill).Both had previous experience in the restaurant industry through their strong associations with the conception and development of Taco Del Mar. The site is located in the Alley 24 development and supports a bustling clientele in the evolving neighborhood. http://www.southlakegrill.com/index.htm

 

The second pub in the Paddy Coyne's line up is located in Tacoma on Pacific Avenue in the historic Olympus Hotel. The beautiful, hand carved bar was the anchor in designing this restaurant and neighborhood gathering place. Reusing the historical millwork and exposing classic brickwork key in developing a warm inviting and classic feel to this Irish Pub. http://paddycoynes.net/

Fresh Bistro is the creation of 2 partners who own a catering business. They wanted a new venue for a sit down restaurant that would showcase their fresh new and healthy menu as well as their catering business. The site is located in a LEEDS mixed use building. We worked close with the owners and landlord to come up with a contemporary, warm ‘FRESH’ design that brought the very essence of the food forward in the atmosphere of the restaurant. Cozy, personable and warm. We integrated a fireplace, sit down counter at the kitchen and raising dining to give the restaurant a bright young character. Click here to visit their website.

Located in the the main floor of the Paramount Hotel. This was the second in a chain of fine Asian Fusion cuisine. Special challenges included space planning the facility in a split configuration with the lobby intersecting the restaurant and bar. One of Portland's finest Asian restaurants and a continued success.

This was the first in a series of remodels for the Café’s Inc. This project was developed with the intense criteria of a tight budget and even tighter construction time frame, 10 days. Through careful staging, and coordination with the contractor and building dept. We were able to create a new space and have the contractor execute it on time, under budget and with careful coordination, it didn’t need a building permit. The restaurant has maintained its regulars and developed a few new ones. Seating was increased by 10% and sales were increased by 30%.

The family style restaurant started out as a 5,900 sq. ft. CMU building zoned for retail. The facility use was re-established as restaurant with the city. The location of this restaurant offered a unique opportunity to support an adjacent hotel that did not have a food service facility. It's menu is that of a family dining. Our challenge was to create an atmosphere that brought in and developed a "regulars" clientele immediately. Giving that feeling of an established restaurant while providing a fun, warm and inviting family dining experience.

Working with the project Architect, Michael George, we cooperated in creating a traditional long lasting restaurant. The client has been a successful restaurateur in the Snohomish area for many years and the challenge was in expanding his restaurant without loosing the unique Mediterranean quality of his atmosphere and food. Design services included space planning, interior improvements, finishes and furnishings. Specifically, interior lighting, detailing and finish selections were key to the new space. Because of it's unique space plan, the facility was developed to support dining as well as a lounge without affecting the unique atmosphere of both uses. The traditional elements of the design have held for many years. The design today still feels as fresh and new as it did when it was implemented in 1994.

This project was the restoration of a Seattle landmark that burned. Restoration of the classic look, style and feel was critical to maintain the clientele and established ambiance of a destination restaurant.
