I'm excited for this to open and all, but when I look at the lot size vs. the rendering I think the artist must have had the wrong dimensions because I don't see how they can fit 8 rows of tables between the fence and the restaurant on the outdoor terrace. Anyway, not to pick, it's just funny!
ReplyDeleteI hope this succeeds and comes in at a reasonable price point - I do think it's a creative use of space. As I said before, it looks like a fairly economical use of space since they are just converting the existing building and then landscaping the lot in front of it.
Was just by the site and they are indeed working away.
