The
Monterey rose from the shell of a dilapidated King William storefront and gas
station to become a sophisticated-but-casual gastro-pub that is the talk of the
town and the jewel of its neighborhood. Transformed by a mid-century modern
aesthetic that is warmed with a textual, handcrafted feel, its atmosphere is
comfortably retro while being clearly of its time and place.
The
existing building required much remediation and upgrading of electrical,
plumbing and mechanical systems as well as buttressing of the structure. The
architect addressed the infrastructure and reinvigorated the building’s
original charms, reimagining its spatial organization to work as a restaurant.
Creating a sense of entry by way of the expansive courtyard and connecting
indoor and outdoor spaces enhanced the sense of shared experience and energy
that brings people together. Finishes and fixtures that are both durable and in
line with the design sensibilities were carefully selected and complemented by
midcentury light fixtures and other pieces from the time. Teal and red accents,
including a red oilcloth ceiling, enrich the interiors with creativity and a
sense of joy that spills over to the outdoor spaces and the street beyond.
