Hatch is an interior build-out of an existing space in a historic building. Light gauge metal and wood-framing was used for internal wall systems and metal fabrication was needed for the cracked ceiling canopy, outdoor patio canopy, shelving, countertops, and sliding door. High pressure decorative laminate was used extensively throughout for countertops, table tops, bar top, hostess stand, booths, planters, shelves, and expo counter. Tempered glass was used at storefront and interior. Flooring is polished existing concrete and engineered oak flooring. Interior semi-gloss enamels were used for paint finishes.
Built within a 2‚600 square foot space in the 1926 Buick Building, Hatch is a vibrant breakfast and brunch destination for Oklahoma City. The narrow, deep shell presented challenges in creating a full kitchen and prep area within the shotgun space, but the height and volume of the shell provided unique opportunities for the architecture to engage the space and the users. The tiered dining areas connected by ramps were driven by the difference in the finished floor levels at the front and rear entrances. The rear entrance leads to the Buick building lobby where the restrooms are located; so, although only one accessible entrance was required, both are now accessible.
The tiered seating enhances the dining experience with more connectivity to the front. A prominent sculptural ceiling plane and lighting element were created in combination with a circulation datum running the length of the space. Together, these bold elements work together to become the central articulation of the restaurant design. Large 6- and 9-foot windows line the north wall and deliver natural morning light to the seating areas. An outdoor patio was added that allows the cracked motif of the sculptural ceiling plane to be expressed on the exterior of the building. The ceiling and patio screen are meant to be an abstraction of a fractured egg.
