DESIGN NAME: Bosscat
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Bar & Restaurant
INSPIRATION: Every piece of worn, ragged, and used material was an inspiration in the design process.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Bosscat Kitchen creates a ranch scenery by choosing and assembling unique materials, lights, and furniture. Reclaimed and rustic materials are used in every corner of Bosscat to escalate the farmhouse effects; In addition, old- fashioned light fixtures illuminate the space in a dramatic way. No furniture in Bosscat is typical, they are all designed to match with the environment. What makes Bosscat apart and distinctive from the other local restaurants is the theatrical effects it generates.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The customers who come to Bosscat enjoy a very unique experience; this place detaches people from their busy life and welcomes them to a peaceful farmhouse environment.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The Project started in November 2013 and finished in May 2014. It is located in Newport Beach, California

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Bosscat used recycled materials with precise construction techniques to represent grain industry.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Sustainable and reclaimed materials were used.
TAGS: Restaurant, Bar, Lounge, Old-fashioned design, Rustic, reclaimed material.
RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The overall ideas and concepts were generated based on the sustainability and cost saving. The process started by studying how different used materials can have unique functions to serve the restaurant design and be re-constructable for food establishment activities in this project.
CHALLENGE: Bosscat strove to be a Green building which uses mostly reclaimed and refurbished materials, meanwhile, it wished to make an impression of a grain manufacturing setting. The challenge was that the limited number of sustainable materials tended to dictate a special type of design, rather than design dominating the material selection. Careful use of material, lighting, and furniture was necessary to preserve the focal character of the restaurant.
