Boatyard Restaurant
Housed in 10,000 square feet with a heavy timber frame, Boatyard’s waterfront location served as inspiration for the upscale-casual nautical design concept. Authentic, repurposed, yet sophisticated finishes incorporating thematic elements were used to avoid a theme-venue feel. A 30-foot ceiling above the bar inspired a monolithic 19-foot tall salvaged crew oar sculpture with original boat numbers and colors. Oars spiral around a steel frame, with demising walls of ship rope and steel turnbuckles mortised into the floor. Boatyard’s challenge became its largest asset: the soaring ceilings inspired over-scale design features that created a human and nautical scale in a potentially vacuous space.
