Their menu, offering fresh farm-to-table ingredients, inspired their original location’s design. The project’s goal was to reach a broader audience while still maintaining a playful, farm theme. We updated select elements from their original space but organized them in zones to keep a cohesive image that still speaks to their branding. The space was cut open to allow for more natural light and visual connections to an expanded outdoor patio space. The renovation to the outdoor patio included large fans, heaters and planters incorporated in the perimeter railing. Using a mix of greens, natural materials, and a contrasting monochromatic custom cotton candy colored pink tractor allows for the bright colors to act as an additional billboard showing off the space. The dining room features gourd-shaped lights spaced for optimal light levels, a cut vinyl crop pattern and tectum panels for acoustical performance. The second floor features a rentable bar and candy shop, a flexible design that provides space for any age group's events.
