Continuity of branding and messaging have become an integral aspect of successful hospitality design. Today’s trends in hospitality design have pushed the envelope of conventional design of the past and PGAL is at the forefront of the hospitality movement.

ALEXANDRIA REAL ESTATE EQUITIES

GREENACRE CAMPUS POINTE

location: la jolla, california

GreenACRE Eatery was transformed from a typical underutilized corporate cafeteria into a thriving full-service restaurant and meeting place featuring rustic interior design, expansive outdoor eating and gathering spaces, and on-site organic gardens. Located in the biotech Campus Pointe office campus, Executive Chef Brian Malarkey’s 12,500-square-foot farm-to-table GreenACRE Eatery and connecting conference center were built as tenant amenities but are also open to the public.

The concept for the eatery was inspired by the canyon rim that cradles the outdoor dining area. The design sought to weave the exterior landscape with the interior

environment, blurring the lines between interior and exterior. The gabion walls are a unifying design element used to define space, create seating areas, and table bases, while the new retractable façade allows for the natural canyon breezes and sunshine to fill the space with life and energy. The restaurant boasts a variety of seating and dining vignettes, including a grab-and-go marketplace. The sprawling outdoor patio features fire pits, cornhole, ping-pong, and an on-site organic garden.

The outdoor entertainment space is supported by a 4,531-square-foot full-service restaurant and bar with a “grab-and-go” option for employees of the campus and the public alike. The existing building’s previous use was exclusively office program, so the site conditions created several challenges in terms of infrastructure upgrades. One example was the need to accommodate the ventilation duct shaft with the roof utilities upgrades required for floor penetrations through the post-tension slab.

KETTNER EXCHANGE

location: san diego, california

The concept for Kettner Exchange was to create a social experience in honor of William Kettner, late congressman from the early 1900’s who brought character, kinship, and political cohesion to San Diego.

The two-story restaurant and lounge features indoor/ outdoor dining experiences that range from traditional dining, lounging, swinging, and even private dining.

from formal dining, street level bar, lounge, view-centric informal dining, rooftop bar, private cabanas, and even a chef’s table within the kitchen just to name a few.

JUNIPER & IVY

KALUZ RESTAURANT

location: wellington, florida

This 11,000-square-foot, single-story, upscale restaurant is the second location for the successful waterfront Kaluz brand. Although this location is landlocked, the team sought to include a “water theme” to build on the waterfront atmosphere of the original location.

The outdoor dining space contains bubbling fountains from the rear of the water-wall that provides ambiance to the dining experience, while the indoor dining room features a large, cascading, flowing reflecting pool with an infinity edge that creates a unique indoor environment. The building’s exterior is modern and clad in white-

colored stone that contrasts with dark bronze accents and horizontal wood inset panels. A large cantilevered porte-cochere invites guests to the monumental glass entry doors and a towering corner element with patterned aluminum composite panels anchors the exterior architecture.
