The Goal

Transforming a vacant space in the historic Frank Jones Brew Yard at 110 Brewery Lane mill into a fun, elegant restaurant and bar with a unique atmosphere and a full kitchen. The vision was a space that could maximize the number of seats for the small square footage without compromising comfort and functionality.

Our Approach

Faced with the challenge of accommodating residential units above, the Chinburg Team implemented innovative solutions for soundproofing and fire safety. Ventilation was routed through two floors to the roof, while the HVAC system was placed above the kitchen ceiling to maximize floor space. Cork flooring and sound-absorbent panels were strategically installed to address potential noise concerns. This meticulous approach, involving 15 specialized subcontractors, ensured both functionality and comfort for diners and residents alike.
