PROJECT BACKGROUND

SITE LOCATION:

185 Channel

Lot Size: 7,600 square feet

Pedestrian Acess: North and West.

Existing Condition: Vacant Lot

The restaurant site is located at 185 Channel Street, right in the heart of Mission Bay, San Fransisco. This urban area is going to be the perfect “farm-to-table” restaurant that the Mission Bay area needs. The Mission Bay area has a population of roughly 12,500 people and a wide demographic with the median household income being $160,577. The majority of the locals rent their homes due to the housing market being so high and the demographic being so young. The Mission Bay area is great for raising a family due to the average crime rating and the above-average public schools.

Demographic:

The 7,600 square foot space is surrounded by an active and ambitious neighborhood of professionals with a modern, busy lifestyle with many urban amenities and outdoor recreational opportunities. In Mission Bay, the summers are long, comfortable, dry, and mostly clear and the winters are short, cold, wet, and partly cloudy.

CONCEPT

Famililaity is achieved by creating a simple and pleasant atmosphere for all guests and welcoming everyone to the table. Creating Familiarity through color, materials, sound, and smell as well as decor. Using Familiarity to create human connections between people, family, and friends around the table.

FAMILIAR:

Personal, intimate, comfortable, and well-known

DESIGN NARRATIVE

The design aims to connect consumers with sustainable and green products that are used throughout the entire facility, Including Greengard, and Indoor Air Quality certified, recyclable, reclaimed, and Class A fire-rated materials and products. Even though Bettie’s table is a place where you can get a good homecooked meal, it isn’t like your everyday hole-in-the-wall diner or restaurant. The design focuses on sophistication and class, the point that you can go to a nice restaurant and still get an affordable meal that tastes like a million dollars. With California’s prices being so high and Mission Bay being a new and upcoming on-the-go city we wanted Bettie’s table to be affordable for all and give citizens the option to see where the food is coming from and have a sense of community.

The design for Betties Table, a Mission Bay farm-to-table restaurant is inspired by community and family. Specifically, your mother’s or grandmother’s kitchen.
