Project Description
Through the creative process of creating a home for Fish & Game,
principal architect Michael Davis found that the notion of “preparing a
meal and cooking a restaurant” persisted as a theme. As a chef crafts a
dish using a little of this and a little of that, Davis allows the
architecture and design project to take on a personality of its own in a
wholly organic way, finding that the next steps unfold naturally and
unexpectedly. Davis’ goal is to create an environment that will look and
feel like the food will taste.
The 19th century brick structure originally housed a blacksmith shop,
but had since been haphazardly attended to over the years, losing its
original historic luster and architectural detail. Through the expert
guidance of the award-winning architect Michael Davis and his
re-adaptive re-use of period sensitive techniques and materials, the
structure is more historically sound than the state in which it was
found. The fully gutted, structurally-reinforced, restored building will
be a livable, almost residential feeling restaurant that evokes country
elegance through its impeccably appointed details all handcrafted
and/or reclaimed and repurposed. -- courtesy e-architect
