• Food Trucks • Casual Dining • Cafe / Bistros • Permanent vs Transitional • Local Markets • Regional Sourced Food • Culinary Arts • Test Kitchens • Food Halls
The plan emphasizes boutique restaurants, casual dining with open, outdoor seating, and iconic, memorable one to twostory architectural structures that pay homage to the Deep Ellum architectural standards. The materiality of current trends for energy use, lighting, sustainable materials, and best practices for space planning and adaptive reuse will be critical components of these vital community businesses within the proposed green spaces of the district.
CAFE MELBA/TREAT.COM Creating casual restaurant and bar opportunities with the site, in keeping with the style and aesthetic qualities of Deep Ellum, will be important components of the culture and entertainment aspects of the new development. Restaurants designed for small to medium sized crowds, craft beer, food trucks, gaming, and social interaction will all be considered.
Along with permanent restaurants and dining opportunities, the development will connect food and the urban environment together, seamlessly blending functional outdoor park space with food. Highly customizable interactions and flexible organization of design and pedestrian circulation will ensure the park will be adaptable to a wide range of programming and uses throughout the year.
