PROJECT NARRATIVE:
Background, purpose and details of the proposal.
The attached proposal is a 543 SF addition to the West Facade of 263 E Gore Greek. The 46 year old Ore House restaurant closed its doors in June of 2014. The owners of the building
would like to continue to service the community with a fine dining restaurant, although in order to accommodate the needs of a fine dining restaurant flexible indoor outdoor seating
in the location of the current exterior patios must be added to accommodate dining seating and an accessible main entry.
The proposed use is to remain as an A-2 restaurant as previously occupied. The intended impact of the project is to enliven the pedestrian edge of Bridge Street by bringing light and
activity from the restaurant space towards the public. The design has incorporated public and private layers from common benches to the restaurant's patron eat rail. The bi-folding
doors open the restaurant to the exterior and activates the street scape. The proposed addition roof heights are in line with the existing building and do not impact the passage of
light on to the adjacent streets. The addition adds a scaled down layer to the building, again bringing the building down to the pedestrian's scale. The finished product of this addition
is intended to be compatible with the existing building's architecture and material palette.
