In partnership with Sunroad Enterprises and Cohn Restaurant Group, our architects designed Park Social, a twist on the traditional neighborhood café which boasts brews on tap. The café is located on the ground level corner of Vive on the Park, a San Diego, CA mixed-use development with parking below and residential above. Park Social’s flexible design offers a walkable gathering spot for local neighborhood residents and visitors to meet, eat, drink and be social.
The modern aesthetic of the community is continued in Park Social while accents of reclaimed materials bring in the industrial minimalism typically seen in breweries. Our architects skillfully navigated challenges inherent with vertical mixed-use developments which include placement of the kitchen hood exhaust. The existing slab was post-tension construction thus, the slab was x-rayed to determine floor sink location options. The floor plan includes individual all-gender restrooms with shared sink area in order to maximize the square footage for restaurant seating.
An energetic pedestrian streetscape is created with the large exterior patio. Roll-up doors open the restaurant to the sidewalk as well as adjacent residential lobby.
