Design Details

Unique Properties
The scope of this project included the creation of three separate dining areas. With two octagonal pavilions within this building the main dining experience, a large dining room, is located in the westerly octagon, and the secondary dining experience is an intimate bar, together these two dining areas seat about 154 people. There’s a third dining experience, which is on the roof, a patio, which will be opened in the spring. Not only were new features added during the development of this project but the existing space and features of the building were upgraded.
Inspiration
What began as a steakhouse, featuring the traditional dining idea, became a restaurant in memory of the owner’s father, thus the menu and designs of the restaurant were altered. While still remaining a location that offers a traditional dining experience, it will also be memorable experience for guests that come through this establishment.
Research
Research was collected from previous restaurants, each with their own dining experience but a certified unique style.
Realization and Technology
Metal - Brass with Patina (applied by hand) Wood Veneer “Tabu Walnut” Laminate “Puricelli Morematt” Stone “Caesarstone”
Operation and Interaction
Arthurs being a dual space has multiple operations and interactions, felt differently by each client. The simplistic timelessness carries with it open interpretations to all.
Project Duration and Location
The project began Spring 2018 and was completed January 2019.
