Restaurant Design Inspiration by JDA

In Raleigh, North Carolina, you can find beautiful restaurant interior design, 18 Seaboard that designed by JDA-J.Davis Architects. The owner of 18 Seaboard wanted the experience of dining at his restaurant to be remembered as a journey.

An experience that surpasses the patron’s expectations. The most highly ranked objectives were “Warm”, “Inviting” and “Comfortable”… Followed by “Casual” and Unique”.

The concept of the space was really derived from the action of a walking journey through the space. Knowing from the onset that the front door would be in the back of the space, JDavis decided to place the bar here. Most patrons who are waiting for a table will be encouraged to sit at the bar/lounge area. Once the table is ready, the host will escort the guests through the walking journey of the space… the Resin Ceiling Panels above represent “stepping stones”… they guide guests through a narrowed corridor, past the Private Dining Room, and into an open Main Dining Hall. The “journey” plays on the experience of spatial envelopes; Larger, more voluminous spaces that narrow into smaller areas, then open up again to emphasize the varied spaces within 18 Seaboard.
