COMMERCIAL PORTFOLIO

Burger King
Georgetown, Washington, D.C.

This project, designed in conjunction with Ellen I. Brotman, Interior Designs, Inc., involved a complete remodeling of an existing Burger King franchise to give it a contemporary, lively atmosphere. The American Society of Interior Designers selected this project to receive its annual design award.

The lighter color palette brightens the space, which has little natural light. All new finishes were selected for their cleanliness and durability for easy maintenance and a fresh, clean look.

Visual interest throughout the space was enhanced through the use of millwork, wainscot and neon decorative elements that give the restaurant a fun, playful ambiance.

Two specially commissioned paintings of Georgetown highlight the entrance, while graphics and neon lighting are utilized to break down the scale of the elevator shaft, turning it into a whimsical decorating element.
