Exterior Renovation
Transformed a deteriorated early-1900s residential-turned-commercial structure on Main Street into a vibrant food and beverage destination for Half Moon Bay Brewing. Preserving the building's original exterior walls and structural beams, we reinforced the historic frame and rebuilt everything within it — new floors, ceilings, finishes, and lighting throughout — delivering a fully modernized interior beneath a shell rooted in the past.
The design centers on a 14-seat bar anchoring the main dining space, complemented by 28 interior seats and an 11-seat communal table that encourages a shared, neighborhood gathering feel. A full-service kitchen supports innovative food offerings alongside the brewery's beer program. Windows connect the interior to a covered front porch, which serves as a transitional buffer zone — complete with a standing-height drink rail overlooking the 20-seat outdoor patio below. The result is a layered indoor-to-outdoor sequence, giving guests multiple distinct settings, from intimate bar seating to open-air patio dining, within a single historic-to-modern renovation.

Restaurant Trends to Watch
In the post-Covid era, customer expectations include outdoor dining areas, now a crucial aspect of restaurant ambiance. The seamless transition from indoor to outdoor spaces presents a distinct design opportunity. Thoughtful consideration of weather protection and seamless patio integration into the overall operation is essential.
Design spaces that transport customers away from the daily grind. Incorporate lush greenery, serene gardens, and thoughtful lighting. Prioritize layouts that enhance guest conversations, defining a floor plan that invites relaxation and a break from the everyday.
Transparency and authenticity in dining are elevated when guests catch a glimpse of their food preparation. While this has been a standard for chef-owner restaurants, showcasing a portion of the cooking process significantly influences how restaurant design integrates with the overall guest experience.
