[edit] Projects
Project: Beachtree Restaurant, Four Seasons Hualalai Resort, Hawaii. The Beach Tree, 2009 The Beach Tree Restaurant, Four Seasons Resort Hualalai was an extensive renovation doubling the size of the kitchen, dining and bar areas. Resort ownership and management took an active part in the design development. As an ocean-front project it was in the FEMA designated A-E Flood Zone and required special structural, mechanical and electrical engineering accommodations as well as flood-proof detailing. The kitchen was steel reinforced concrete built into grade with sod roof, matching existing for minimal view disturbance to nearby guest bungalows. The original dining and bar areas were removed. The new pavilion and trellis dining are structural-steel framed with African mahogany, cedar and Ipe finish surfaces. The trellis has electrically operable sun shades. The new bar is timber-framed with ohia and the roof is thatched. An expansive lounge deck with autograph trees and shade umbrellas joins all of the areas together. This was a complex project, and had multiple on-the fly scope adjustments with a limited design / construction schedule.
