Gaze

Gaze is a restaurant located in the small town of macon, Georgia. set in a building originally designed as a community center. The space, currently used as a gymnasium and recreation room, is undergoing a transformation to serve as a dining, bar, and wedding/banquet hall that serves italian cuisine.

CONCEPT + INSPIRATION

The scope of the project is to conduct thorough research and provide a comprehensive plan for the proposed renovation, ensuring that the restaurant maximizes its available space while preserving the building's shell. The new layout will completely transform the existing structure into a vibrant and functional restaurant, enhancing the dining experience while maintaining a connection to the community.

CONCEPT

STARRY NIGHT

The existing building will undergo a transformation to create a high-end restaurant atmosphere. The ceiling will retain its impressive height in select areas, a feature inherited from its gymnasium past, while new ceiling treatments and layered lighting will be introduced to evoke drama and set the perfect ambiance.

The color palette and textures will be thoughtfully chosen to be dynamic yet subtle, creating a sophisticated atmosphere without overwhelming the senses. a key design principle will be adding private yet public spaces to create intimate, cozy seating areas throughout, ensuring that there will be no bad seat in the house...
