This 5,000-square-foot restaurant in Pocono, Pennsylvania, was designed by merging two existing buildings and incorporating a proposed octagonal tower between them to create a cohesive and functional space. The one-story building, housing the main restaurant, will undergo a complete renovation, featuring new windows, doors, finishes, kitchen appliances, a bar with seating, and updated bathrooms.
The adjacent two-story building, originally containing living spaces with a kitchen, bedrooms, and bathrooms, will be repurposed to accommodate dining rooms across both floors. A reception area and customer waiting lounge are proposed to connect the two buildings, creating a seamless transition between them.
The restaurant's main entrance will be accessible from the main road, with additional access provided via a parking lot located at the rear. To unify the structures, both the existing buildings and the newly added central area will be clad in identical materials, creating a harmonious architectural design.
