Over a span of 10 months, we meticulously transformed three separate spaces into a cohesive, vibrant dining experience, overcoming numerous challenges along the way.
Our primary goal was to create a large, efficient kitchen capable of delivering exceptional food. This required a complete overhaul of the existing space, including tearing out much of the concrete floor to install the necessary plumbing and electrical systems. Every step of the way, we worked closely with the owners to ensure her vision came to life.
Incorporating elements of the old restaurant with new, modern features, we crafted a unique ambiance that defines the “Spork” vibe. We installed a stunning curved mahogany bar and adorned the space with custom wallpaper. One of the standout features is the hanging garden with pendant lights interspersed among the plants. To ensure the garden thrives year-round, we installed grow lights that add a special touch to the atmosphere.
