Project Narrative

This project centers on the revitalization and transformation of a historic two-story structure originally constructed in 1917—repositioning the building as a vibrant, modern destination while preserving its architectural character and legacy.

The scope involved a comprehensive renovation and significant expansion, increasing the building from 5,500 square feet to approximately 18,000 square feet. Two new wings were introduced—one dedicated to an expanded dining environment and the other housing a commercial-grade kitchen and upgraded support spaces. These additions were carefully integrated with the original structure, maintaining a cohesive architectural language while clearly expressing the evolution of the building.

The design strategy focused on enhancing functionality, improving circulation, and creating a series of dynamic social environments. At the heart of the project is the introduction of the Beer Garten—a flexible outdoor venue that extends the building’s program into the landscape. Featuring a full-service bar, diverse seating arrangements, and a dedicated performance stage, the space is designed to support live music, community events, and everyday gathering. Seamless indoor-outdoor connections reinforce a continuous guest experience, activating the site throughout the year.
