It was an honor to be Oceanic’s Designer 🙌🏻

🌟2022 Design Award Finalist: Oceanic Restaurant🌟

Oceanic Restaurant was the subject of a complete redesign, with the owners and project team viewing Hurricane Florence as an opportunity to start fresh. The storm forced Oceanic to be taken down to the studs. The team took that opportunity and spirit of resiliency and creativity to rethink what Oceanic could be. With that mindset, they redesigned the floor plan into the Oceanic you see today. The "Jetty Bar" was designed to face south where one can soak in the views. For the second floor dining room, some of the original crystal pier wood was saved and incorporated into the project and the floor plan was opened up to include 180-degree views of the Atlantic Ocean. Lastly, the event space on the third floor was similarly redesigned around the views.

Last week I was down in Florida for a design job. I was walking by Lucky Fish going to dinner and I overheard voices coming from the tiki bar of laughter and people in complete joy. I knew then the job had been accomplished. An overwhelming feeling of pride came over me knowing I was the designer of this creation. I had a part of something that is bigger than me.
