In the spring I completed a hypothetical design within an existing building in Pullman. It was a space where a local winery and restaurant would combine to form a wine bar and bistro. There were many requirements to consider but the first floor was to include the bistro, wine tasting, and wine retail. While the second floor had offices for the business and a conference room that must also serve as a VIP tasting room. Above you can see the common area looking towards the bistro and bistro bar. After figuring out a concept based on the interviews of Jim Harbour of South Fork and Patrick Merry of Merry Cellars, I started design development within Revit to create the idea I had envisioned.
One of the requirements was to design a grand staircase to lead the VIP guests up to the second floor. I decided to use a sweeping stair with a 3form railing as seen in the above left image. On the right is the wine retail space with an area for barrel tasting in the center. You can see a panorama of the first floor
here.
On the left above you can see the landing of the second floor onto a reception area and seating booths for small groups or lunches. On the right is the main open office area with clouds hanging above the workstations. A panorama of the second floor landing can be seen
here. Most of the furnishings were designed by Steelcase and we worked with their planning design center online to bring our idea to life. After completing the design, I then produced a set of construction documents to finish off the project.
