This project was a co-op freelance re-design proposal for The Eldorado Golf Course/ Joint BBQ restaurant. The main dining space and bar area needed new furniture, materials, and a fresh new look to comfortably accommodate guests. The establishments redesign features new paint, wall tiling, concrete flooring, two booth upholstery fabrics, new bar seating and furniture, new signage, ceiling and wall lighting fixtures, and custom details for the service desk space. The design proposal included floor plans, sections, elevations, material and furniture specifications, a budget chart, and renderings. This project allowed me to track realistic client deadlines, source material costs, and meet client changes.
