1332 Park Street, Alameda, CA.  This restaurant remodel updated a 1960's era restaurant space. The existing space was cramped dark and unwelcoming. The ceiling at the first floor dining area was only 6'-7" high, and the second floor dining was only 7'-6" high.  Neither space was acceptable for a new restaurant. The existing second floor structure was removed to create an open and light filled room with a high ceiling.  A portion of the second floor remains to provide a balcony dining area.  The guardrail wraps around the space and flows down the new stair. The redesign resulted in the space being rented before the project was finished.
I worked closely with the contractor to preserve building systems that kept the project in the client's budget.
