Design & Construction Highlights

Architectural Layout

• Two Restaurant Suites (R1 & R2):
  Each tenant space includes a complete back-of-house system—cook line, dish area, bar, prep, office, and storage.
• Courtyard Concept:
  The building footprint and pedestrian walkways form a central open-air dining zone connecting both restaurants. This “culinary courtyard” encourages community interaction and outdoor experiences.
• Efficient Circulation:
  Logical separation of guest, kitchen, and service traffic—ensuring front-of-house ambience is maintained while back-of-house operations run efficiently.
• Restrooms:
  Shared core with four ADA-compliant restrooms located between the two tenant suites.
• Adaptability:
  Layout allows potential subdivision or connection for a single anchor tenant if needed.

Structural & Foundation Design

• Construction Type: Masonry + steel hybrid structure with reinforced CMU exterior walls and steel roof framing.
• Foundation: Continuous 16-inch footings with reinforced slab-on-grade design, per the 2023 Florida Building Code (FBC) Residential and ASCE 7-16.
• Roof System: Low-slope insulated TPO roof with parapet walls and concealed drainage.
• Wind Design: Engineered for 150 mph Exposure C coastal conditions.
• Interior Framing: Steel stud walls with moisture-resistant backing for kitchen areas; framed openings coordinated with hood systems and fire-rated assemblies.

Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing (MEP)

• Mechanical:
  Split-system HVAC units sized independently for each tenant; exposed duct options in dining areas for modern industrial aesthetics.
• Electrical:
  Individual 400 A service panels with dedicated circuits for kitchen equipment, coolers, and exhaust hoods. Lighting design includes a mix of recessed LEDs, pendant fixtures, and decorative sconces to emphasize ambience.
• Plumbing:
  • Full sanitary and grease waste system with dedicated interceptors per FBC Plumbing 2023.
  • Domestic water and gas distribution designed for simultaneous dual-tenant operation.
  • Hot-water recirculation lines insulated to R-4 standard for energy efficiency.
• Fire Protection: Fully sprinklered per NFPA 13 with concealed heads in dining zones.

Civil & Site Integration

• Grading and drainage coordinated with the parent commercial parcel’s stormwater system.
• Rear access for deliveries, waste collection, and maintenance isolated from customer areas.
• ADA-compliant pedestrian paths connect parking, courtyard, and front entries.
• Utility tie-ins for water, sanitary, and electrical services consolidated along a central corridor to simplify construction.

Exterior & Landscape Design

• Material Palette: Smooth white stucco with textured stone bases, bronze metal canopies, and warm cedar-tone wood slats at entry portals.
• Glazing: Full-height storefront systems enhance visibility and natural light.
• Lighting: Integrated canopy LED strips and bollard lighting for evening ambience.
• Courtyard: Brick-paver surface with planters, palm clusters, and accent greenery creating a relaxed, coastal dining experience.
• Signage: Wall-mounted back-lit tenant signage and freestanding monument sign coordinated with the development’s visual identity.
• Parking: Front and side lots provide direct access, including designated curbside pickup spaces for takeout and delivery.

Visualization & Walkthrough Rendering

A full 3D walkthrough was produced to capture both the exterior and interior ambience. The animation served as a marketing and leasing tool for prospective restaurateurs.

• Exterior Flythrough: Showcases façade textures, canopy lighting, and parking approach.
• Interior Path: Guides viewers from entry through bar and dining spaces to the shared courtyard.
• Lighting Study: Demonstrates warm evening illumination and reflections through storefront glass.
• Material Preview: Allows the developer to evaluate finishes and signage placement before construction.
