A & W restaurant
Located in a bustling industrial retail area, this drive-thru restaurant meets the demand for new facilities while transforming a previously mundane concrete parking space into a vibrant social gathering space. Designed as a franchise prototype, the building showcases a single-story layout that takes advantage of its elevated position, offering a unique perspective and significance within the surrounding flood control plain.
The design incorporates an outdoor patio, capitalizing on the raised terrain to create a distinctive social space. This inviting area serves not only as an extension for restaurant patrons but also as a welcoming environment for the public at large. It provides an opportunity for individuals to come together, socialize, and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of this reimagined urban setting.
By repurposing the existing parking space and elevating the main floor, this drive-thru restaurant adds a dynamic element to the industrial retail area. Beyond serving as a dining destination, it becomes a catalyst for community interaction, fostering a sense of belonging and creating an inviting environment for all.
