Coastal Vibe
This commercial design challenge was to create an iconic Nantucket outdoor environment for the new CōV restaurant at Minnesota’s most upscale shopping mall and opposite the country’s oldest mall.
The key was to create an atmosphere that would transport people to a different place while making them feel like guests on a special porch or patio rather than at a commercial business. The patio deck showcases a distinctive 12-in.-dia. Kentucky coffeetree the NARI member plucked off a homeowner’s front lawn and made to look like it had grown around the classic white pergola over time.
Multiple seating options for eating meals and lounging with cocktails.
Slow growing Kentucky coffeetree will not will not drop large seedpods and berries or exceed its space.
Slow leaf-out lets patrons enjoy pleasant sun in cool spring months and shade in hot summer.
Highly stain-resistant Crypton Outdoor fabric for swing and couch cushions are perfect for casual, pup-friendly environment.
Planters, plantings and peek-a-boo trellis shield patrons from prying eyes while allowing them to spy arriving guests.
Broad, wind-rated Tuuci umbrellas withstand harsh weather, provide ample shade and spare staff because they can stay in place all season long.
Facing Nantucket porch swings are strategically spaced for use by a party of four or by separate couples.
Custom Azek planters, flower boxes and railing withstand harsh weather and minimize maintenance.
Automatic irrigation supplies trees, hedges, planters and concrete planter bowls with just-right hydration.
Although the restaurant architect had envisioned a simple concrete patio with a long row of tables, this contractor created an outdoor environment that may surpass the indoor space.
By design, the gnarly 15-year-old Kentucky coffee tree’s ‘legacy’ look suggests it came before the deck.
The designer chose Kentucky coffeetree, Aspen and Kindred Spirit Oak trees for staggered foliage and a variety of evergreen and seasonal plantings for year-round visual appeal. The client specified the red flowers for a patriotic, New England look.
Crushed New Hampshire seashells impart an authentic New England detail around the fit pit and trees.
The movement and illumination of gas fire pit and lanterns are designed to attract attention and draw people in.
