The Local
San Marcos, CA, United States
Designed in 2010, The Local was a challenging restaurant project. With size being a major constraint (the actual indoor restaurant is just more than 1,000 square feet) the proprietor wanted to fit in as many seats as possible while keeping not only an open layout but also a bar for counter seating as well as beer and wine service. Additionally, utility issues including a non-existent gas line and inadequate electrical service ensured that d.coop's team would be facing an uphill battle. The resulting design is a small scale, industrial inspired restaurant seating 21 persons inside with an additional 56 seats at an outdoor patio. The facility was designed to meet stringent LEED guidelines as well as to provide an added level of sustainability.HVAC HVAC systems were designed to ensure that a minimal amount of contaminates left the facility. Working with Captive Aire, an air scrubbing unit and heavily filtered exhaust fans clean exhaust air to environmental standards, ensuring that the residents in the units above the restaurant space are not forced to inhale airborne contaminates resulting from food preparation.PLUMBING SYSTEMSCombing Zurn regulated faucetry including low flow commercial rinse valves with Australian toilet technology, resulted in at least a 30% reduction in potable water usage. OTHER SUSTAINABLE FEATURES- Kept interior finishes to a minimum, focusing on key components to provide necessary "decoration".- Use of LED light fixtures, keeping ceilings at their 16'-0" height, and orienting the dining areas to naturally day lit areas minimized lighting use and allowed for the additional specification of Rejuvenation suspended fixtures with carbon filament lamps for the vintage touch.- Specification of recycled denim insulation, FSC certified hardwoods, and wheatboard based millwork.
