PROJECT
To bring this upscale restaurant to life, L.R. Costanzo converted this former bank and used the two-story open floor plan to create an expansive foyer view. As guests enter their attention is immediately drawn to the custom red oak millwork, which wraps around both floors and blends seamlessly with the bar reception and wait staff. The millwork on this project is custom designed and was crafted onsite. L.R. Costanzo responded to the owner’s wishes and created beautiful tables, seating, handrails and enclosures that mask the old building’s original steel beams.
