RVK’s design vernacular for this new restaurant in the Pearl Brewery district wanted to capture the feel of an existing building being renovated and modernized. The concept follows the design direction of the old Pearl Brewery. We used selected features and materials from the surrounding historic buildings to bring the palette to life:  thin metal window frames with thickened glass, D’Hanis masonry units, painted brick veneer and metal roofing panels. The use of the exterior materials was extended into the interior to complement the new elements: distinctive wood beams, wood slat ceiling assembly, bold ceramic wall tile, deep based paint colors and a 92-foot long custom bar which serves both the exterior and interior seating areas.
