The basement of a historic building in downtown Raleigh becomes a speakeasy bar and lounge with a catering kitchen. Once patrons enter from the sidewalk above, they will choose one of two hallways leading to the first of three bars. The first is white, bright and very inviting. The second is darker and more polished with metal archways and plush seating. The third is invitation only and houses the bar’s speakeasy component.
We’ve known these guys from their outrageously fresh juice cart, on the corners of Fayetteville Street during the summer months, and custom deliveries all year round. We were thrilled when they walked in our front door. This is an ideal location for a kitchen with nothing to hide. Prep and serving areas are fully visible. The indoor environment is just as fresh as the outdoor seating. Bright, minimal, interior finishes reveal the colors of the food and the warmth of the staff.

This project was a puzzle to design in an existing street level of a downtown existing apartment building. The concept originally was to contain a bar, brewery, market and café. A mezzanine area was to house a grain storage area for the brewery and market as well as office space for the staff. The plan was to open up the space in phases while allowing each function to get off the ground.

A new medical and mixed-use office and retail building for a long-term client. Very careful site design, built exactly within the limits of Raleigh’s new Unified Development Ordinance (UDO), bridging the vibrant Oberlin commercial corridor and the historic residential neighborhood. The design included shell office space and corner retail, with a full interior fit-up for a new medical office. The building is suspended over parking and integrates site amenity areas for pedestrians and patrons.
This project’s task was to update the exterior components of the basement and to show through renderings what an office space could look like for potential tenants. The entrance to the basement was in desperate need of improvements. So, a new storefront system was recommended to better articulate what kind of space the basement could be. It was the part of the building that was overlooked in the past but has a lot of potential. Along with the storefront, some exterior improvements were proposed for the plaza right outside the basement. Once the exterior improvements are complete, the interior will be further developed.
Our 2,733 sf office suite renovation in the historic Raleigh Building in downtown Raleigh includes conference rooms, open office space, reception, break room and materials library. Our design places the large conference room in the middle of the suite. The open office plan allows the existing windows to flood the space with daylight. The small conference room provides privacy for work and wellness and our break room serves employees, clients and office events.
A 3-part project including work for the Morgan Falls leasing area, fitness centers, and resort pool house. The leasing area was the first space to receive attention, with the scope including improvements to the existing layout and flow of the space, interior finish and lighting upgrades, reworking the existing furniture layout, and procurement of new furniture to complete the renovation. Two fitness centers at the property were upgraded with new fitness equipment, interior finishes, and lighting. One of the amenity spaces also included accessible restroom upgrades, and refreshing the laundry room space to create new areas for resident bike repair and dog washing. The final portion of this project focused on renovating the resort pool house to be a space for community events. This included creating a small community kitchen, accessible restrooms for both the basement and ground floor levels, improved interior finishes, all new FF&E selections and procurement, upgrades to the lighting, and a stair addition leading to the pool deck. Outdoor renderings were completed to show the possibilities of upgraded amenities to the pool and outdoor space.
