Challenge

Built during the Covid pandemic, the River Town Prime Steakhouse & Grill needed to be developed based on  availability of materials and contractors.  Additionally, as part of the Planned Urban Development, the project was restricted to a design that was a throw back to the existing plantation house.

Solution

The building design changed significantly based on the availability of materials and trades.  The planned steel structure was changed to a load bearing cold formed metal framing which could be locally sourced.  Materials that were locally or readily available were substituted for those with long lead times.  The design utilized brick and stone as part of the effort to reflect the character of the plantation house along with deep overhangs and wood supports.

Intro

The Cafaro Company Corporate Offices

Re-envisioning the marketplace of tomorrow, the Cafaro Company Corporate Offices were developed to provide a mix of retail, entertainment, and foodservice with commercial office space in a mall setting.  The three-story office building of nearly 50,000 SF, was designed to create not only new offices for the national retail developer, but to also develop a grand entry that provides access to existing retail areas and a redeveloped conference facility.

Challenge

The project included not only the need for new office space, but also a new entry to a mixed-use space that was to be accessible to the adjacent mall complex.  The intent was to also develop a new conferencing area that would be a connector between the offices, mall, and adjacent hotel. This intersection of uses required Phillips|Sekanick Architects to carefully review the access and occupancies of each to create a space that provided an open and inviting entry while maintaining the security needed for the private offices.

Solution

Using a multi-story entryway, the new space provides access to the existing mall concourse and the new conferencing space.  Through an adjacent corridor carved into the back side of the existing tenant spaces, access was provided to the existing hotel.  In order to provide the security needed for the commercial office space, a new secure entrance was developed on the main level with bridges connecting the two halves of each of the upper two floors.  The selected exterior finishes set a new direction for exterior expression at the formerly all white brick mall façades.
