Interiors

While Sixth River Architects completed the interiors for the residential space, Ayers Saint Gross completed the interior for the dining program. The design direction was to provide a fun, youthful space in which to dine, socialize, and relax. The student life director also described a nearby diner that was a long-time student hangout that had recently closed. The designers searched for inspiration from old-school diners of the past. The final design pays homage to a diner but through contemporary interior details. The space has warm, medium-toned wood accents, reminiscent of mid-century modern designs, that clad a custom wall of colorful dining booths. Additionally, bold plaid wallcoverings, graphic hexagonal floor tiles, custom-colored globe pendants, intricate metal ceiling tiles, and small furniture detailing like aluminum fluted table all contribute to this nostalgic dining design.
