REPEAT CLIENT: DON'S SEAFOOD LOCATION: COVINGTON, LA CONTRACTORS: McMATH CONSTRUCTION
How could a new entrance location, and a fresh new look for the interior, be within reach while still providing the branding and tradition that Don’s Seafood has built? When Don’s Seafood was in need of an eye-catching tower design for its existing Covington location, a solution for their interior seating renovation and arrangements, as well as adding waiting space for customers or those grabbing food-to-go, Greenleaf stepped up to the task.
By working closely with Don’s Seafood owners and management staff, Greenleaf was able to understand what makes Don’s Seafood unique through the exploration of their company culture and refreshed branding elements. GLA provided the restaurant the ability to stand out from the street by creating a striking street presence to those passing the restaurant, in addition to a protected covered waiting space for customers, and a “Big Ass Fan” cooling element. Locating the tower in the front area provided an opportunity to relocate the accessible parking from the rear of the building to the new entrance by the tower. From the entrance tower in the building, Greenleaf provided a more pronounced hostess stand area that incorporated Don’s Seafood branding and graphics while providing additional seating for waiting. The design then flows into the dining area, creating new booths and dining seating areas while incorporating branding elements, as well as showcasing Don’s history, memorabilia, and merchandise. With a successful refresh to its Covington location, Greenleaf continued repeat work across multiple existing Don’s Seafood locations across Louisiana.
