Punch Bowl - Social Food & Drink



Develop a restaurant bar bowling lounge concept

Victorian NY Warehouse

create an aged, warm, refined, refurbished elegant (in sections) environment.

grand hotel / lodge - lobby / hall that's been remodeled 3 or more times over the years with layers of each decade exposed.

Build a simple, sustainable and comfortable lunch and dinner restaurant with various seating arrangements in a unique atmosphere.

Provide a PLACE

The EU... The Ace Hotel in Portland... The idea here is to create an aged, warm, refined, refurbished elegant (in sections) environment.

grand hotel / lodge - lobby / hall that's been remodeled 3 or more times over the years with layers of each decade exposed.

Some finish examples: concrete floors, some aged mosaic tile, some terrazzo, perhaps wooden planking and we'll use areas of the existing crappy looking flooring that's in there now.. Wall and furniture materials may have refined finished woods, red brick masonry, cinder block (if any exists already in the building) and some may have rustic plank wood. A combination of modern light fixtures and older used gooseneck canopies, etc., will be applied. Wherever possible under the current drywall we hope to find red brick masonry for added warmth and aging. The more scars we find the better.
Everything blends together rather than have complete themes in sections.
Layers is one of our key words - layers of time and materials, heavy action and reaction, upgrades and band-aids, styles and craftsmanship, layers of economy and social currents viewed through today's kaleidoscope.

materials and era landed firmer within the Victorian NY Warehouse category as our basis.

Create a concept that will instill a sense of community and connectivity. This one has to be in…Vaudeville Bowling... Furnishings in Bohemian Style Decorating
