Kitchen 21
Brooklyn, NY

Originally completed in 1924, the nautical themed Childs Restaurants is a New York City designated landmark on the Coney Island Boardwalk. The building has been restored to house Kitchen 21 – a new, five-in-one restaurant designed by EwingCole. In a nod to Brooklyn’s landmark Parachute Jump, the row of restored arched windows behind the long bar overlook the Jump while a replica of one of the double seat swings that used to freefall from the amusement ride hangs inside the restaurant. The steel structures and lighting between the arched windows were inspired by historic images of the amusement parks at Coney Island in the late 1800’s -early 1900’s: Luna Park, Steeplechase and Dreamland. The seating was designed to provide optimal viewing of the stage for the restaurant patrons when the stage doors are open. The café counters are mobile and designed to allow flexibility for the restaurant: hosting movie nights, beverage tastings, or event rentals.

Davis Center Renovation
Villanova, PA

EwingCole executed a complete renovation of the existing Reception Lobby and Team Meeting Room for the Men’s Basketball program.  The Reception Lobby was modified to incorporate an efficient built-in reception desk with leather wrapped ‘basketball texture’ panel wall system, and a comfortable seating area.  A built-in, all glass trophy case recessed into a wood veneer wall system highlights the multitude of trophies and team accolades on a stainless steel and glass support system.  Corian wall panels, full glass doors, LED lighting and custom accent light wells in team colors extend up the wall and across the ceiling to further frame the trophy wall.  An updated Team Meeting Room creates a well-organized program space which can be used for several functions as a team, or in smaller sessions.  Built-in seating and work surfaces on 2 levels help maximize the use of the space.  Continuous work surfaces with integrated utilities accommodate a multitude of tasks for both players and staff.

SAP Sponsorship Fit-Out at Metlife Stadium
East Rutherford, NJ

This project is SAP/EMC’s joint, multi-million dollar ‘cornerstone’ sponsorship fit-out at Metlife Stadium.  There is a unique, multi-level environment – from branded entry gates and arrival plaza to a bespoke premium suite, the cornerstone sponsorship encompasses five levels within the stadium.  Features include interactive “shout-out” kiosks in the arrival plaza, a two-story “shimmer wall” graphic hanging in the main vertical circulation tower and a high-end suite interior with interactive, state-of-the-art audio/visual technology.  A custom “in-house” app jointly developed by the teams and SAP/EMC extends the branding beyond the physical space enabling fans to watch replay video, check fantasy football statistics, and engage with the teams and other fans via social media.  The fit-out was complete in December 2013, in time for Super Bowl XLVIII.
