This food hall concept restaurant was built out for EUA / BurkettDesign’s long time client, Charter Communications at their newest location, Charter Communications Village Center Station II (VCS II). This building houses both this retail cafe and a conference center above. Urban Market 6350 serves as both the catering kitchen for Charter and an open concept food hall open to the public as well as being convent for Charter’s own employees.

The space features five distinct food stations along with grab-and-go cold fridges all available for checkout at cashless kiosks. I worked together with a team of three and our project manager to realize the clients concept. The central feature, a fresh salad bar with deli-sliced meats counter, is a round station wrapped in vertical stacked white tile. A custom designed ceiling installation mirrors the volume below and was designed using SketchUp for visualization of concepts. The open ceiling look was coordinated with our MEP consultants in Revit. Other areas of high coordination include the wood fire pizza oven and the open kitchen looks of each of the food stations.

I helped design the look and feel of this food hall along with the architect, as well as assisted with presentation documents for the client and coordination of the various vendors.

concept + space planning + design

OFS was retained for the design of Irish Ferries’ W.B. Yeats, a new build cruise ferry project which includes two large public spaces, a center cafeteria style restaurant, two cinemas, 435 passenger, crew and deluxe cabins, a club class lounge, along with the three specialty restaurants: Lady Gregory, Maud Gonne Bar + Lounge, and the club class bar, Cafe Lafayette. I assisted as a part of a three-man design team in layout out the four decks of public space and shaping the concept design for the overall ship and each of the individual spaces. I created the space plan for both of the specialty restaurants and the club class lounge, producing mood boards, product specifications and design detail drawings for construction.

Lady Gregory, an lá carte restaurant, is a calm and serene space away from the bustle of the main public deck space. The extensive wine list is on display in the custom wine rack and bookcase which stretches the width of the space and is detailed in dark, high gloss wood and brass accents. The restaurant features many custom details including a brass bespoke maitre’d station. Each element helps elevate the space to refinement and set the calm and clean yet cozy mood of the upscale restaurant.
