| Chimm Restaurant
PROJECT: Architecture & Construction
DESCRIPTION: Commercial Design & Construction
Chimm Thai & Southeast Asian merges authentic Thai street food with a contemporary yet accessible aesthetic. The owners and chefs of Chimm delight in making every component of a dish and our firm strove to echo that passion.
Working closely with the clients, our firm carefully customized the design of the kitchen to not only be as efficient as possible, but to provide the tools to elevate Chimm to the fine dining market. As a result, the dishes are prepared quickly with the techniques of Thai street cooking, while incorporating the taste and refinement of high quality dining.
By basing their menu on traditional street food, the owners are filling a niche in the highly competitive restaurant market in Charlottesville which will broaden residents’ taste and appreciation for Thai food. The tall ceiling, concrete floor, and open central seating area evoke the bustle and atmosphere of a public streetscape. Booth seating and a bar occupy the three back walls ensuring circulation of servers and customers throughout the entire space, while open seating in the center can be effortlessly rearranged. Multiple baskets of tropical greenery hang from overhead, illuminated by the large south-facing glass wall, to bring life and vibrance that is so critical in renovated industrial structures. An outdoor patio, immersed in greenery and light, completes the goal of blending outside and in.
