BLURRING THE LINES BETWEEN A VINTAGE GYMNASIUM AND A MODERN DINER, THIS PROJECT REDEFINES THE COMMUNITY GATHERING SPOT. INSPIRED BY LGBT HISTORY AND CULTURE, OUR DESIGN EMBRACES A "RETRO-REC" AESTHETIC, UTILIZING ACOUSTIC RUBBER FLOORING AND RAW PLYWOOD PANELING TO EVOKE A SENSE OF NOSTALGIC UTILITY. CONTRASTED AGAINST SLEEK TERRAZZO COUNTERTOPS AND MOODY LIGHTING, THE RESULT IS A TEXTURE-RICH, ECLECTIC SANCTUARY PERFECT FOR ENJOYING CUSTOM SANDWICHES AND CRAFT POURS.
