I was in charge of creating the concept, design, and styling for the hotel's farm-to-table restaurant. Geneva, NY is a town in the heart of the Finger Lakes region of Upstate New York, and is known for its gourmet food and local wines. I wanted the structure to showcase the close relationship between the diners and their food, the hotel's commitment to sustainability, as well as the site's beautiful unobstructed views of Seneca Lake.

In order to optimize all of these opportunities as well as make the most out of the available square footage and natural slope of the land, I decided to organize the space around a series of green walls along two central ramps that allowed visitors to move from the entrance at the top of the slope down to the walkway towards the lake and boathouse. Through the decor and branding, I wanted to convey a feeling of deep roots and connection to both other people and nature, but firmly rooted in modern life. The images below are all my work or photos that I chose to give a sense of the interior space; the Sketchup model was made in conjunction with Scott Hefner, who was in charge of the exterior architecture for the restaurant.
