Mezzanine Restaurant
Restaurant Seating – The mezzanine level supports the end of the user journey with the restaurant. It is a social experience where visitors can enjoy seasonal healthy meals made from the produce grown on site. Raffia separators create a natural barrier to create privacy between tables alone side the string lights and plants enforcing a natural grown atmosphere throughout the space. Together these components create a comfortable experience and connection to natural textures for users of the space of their new local dining experience.
These additional views of the mezzanine display how ground floor features pass up through the mezzanine. The layering of the restaurant upon the casual seating, community activities and allotment below reinforces visually the full cycle of the plot-to-plate journey the users have taken through the space. Users can see the locally grown and prepared food that they are about to enjoy, additionally how their fellow community members have contributed in producing it. This supports community centred activities and ownership of the function of the site. The floor lights provide an intimate, comfortable and warm source of lighting for the restaurant during darker months.
