The five dated dining venues,
with disjointed themed décor, were
located off a corridor that felt like it
led to a back room. The smallest venue
resembled a tired diner with inefficient
workflows and food presentation.
While reducing the formality of the
main dining experience we ensured
the new large spaces included intimate
seating areas in an inviting venue where
the exciting but casual menu would be
prepared in full view of the diners. The
brick oven is the preparation area's
showpiece and the modern décor
includes colors complemented by the
abundance of natural light. The folding

Juror comments:
* This feels like a completely
different space. The brick
oven open to the dining room
and exhibition kitchen is
beautiful. The attention to detail
from wall to wall and from floor
to ceiling is incredible.
* Love the wood ceiling detail in
café and dining; color schemes
are pleasant and cohesive
without being overdone; Love
the innovation within the food
service program-that is special;
screen wall partitions make
spaces more intimate.
* I think that this remodel
simply made the building look
completely new. From the
photos it is difficult to tell that
this is the same building....
and in this case I think that is
very important for residents
and guests. Some buildings
need a complete transformation

whereas others simply at times
just need a refresh. This is the
warmest, inviting remodel in
the group with great warm and
inviting colors while still feeling
updated and modern. The
wood accents really make the
remodel.
* This project is a beautiful
example of what dated
dining areas can become
with appropriate funding for
aesthetics. Grandview has
positioned its new dining
venues in line with trendy
restaurant features and buzz
words: open kitchen, brick
oven, casual, fresh, healthy, etc.
The design appears to have
created a bright and low glare
environment with appropriate
lighting. They conducted focus
groups and incorporated their
market appropriate features into
the design. Appreciate that they
continued to engage end users
with samples, displays and
updates during the renovations.
