Construction Challenges & Solutions
-
01
Gutting a former restaurant that was in poor condition down to the studs, then completing architectural drawings, 3D renderings, and trade coordination up front to hit a tight 6-week turnkey schedule.
-
02
Re-scoping a project originally priced at a higher budget after financial restrictions required eliminating parts of the original design—collaborating with JDB's design team to substitute materials that preserved the exact franchise look within the $150,000 budget.
-
03
Engineering the new service counter to support heavy commercial equipment while keeping compressor-driven units cool, solved by reinforcing the stone countertop and stepping back the counter baseboard with concealed airflow gaps.
Standout Features & Finishes
-
New bar clad in bright blue tiles with reinforced stone countertops, stepped-back ventilated toe-kick/baseboard, custom millwork, and overhead digital menu boards.
-
Franchise-consistent brand execution for Loukoumania's second location—including custom wall lettering and signage designed in-house—paired with new flooring, new stonework, and full interior paint.
-
Complete ground-floor and basement transformation delivered on schedule in 6 weeks so the business could open without extra rent downtime.
