GGLO's Revamped Pierside Kitchen & Packers Oyster Bar: A Stunning Seaside Dining Experience
Project's Summary
GGLO revamps Semiahmoo Resort’s Pierside Kitchen & Packers Oyster Bar
GGLO architectural studio has successfully repositioned Semiahmoo Resort’s Pierside Kitchen & Packers Oyster Bar through a substantial design renovation of both spaces. The design team created a cohesive vision for both the bar and restaurant, resulting in spaces that feel connected but stand on their own. The design creates a layer of modern ambiance that respects the history and existing forms.
Pierside Kitchen & Packers Oyster Bar has been transformed into a sort of social theatre from which to absorb the stunning views of the surrounding waters. The mood reflects the site’s historic cannery and is reflected in the dark steel with patina at the fireplace surround. Guest comfort was paramount when renovating the space, reflected in the cozy atmosphere of the bar’s custom steel displays and antique oak wood flooring.
The dining experience reflects a genuine and rich seaside spirit as well as a refined culinary diversity. Materials that evoke the essence of the surrounding beach shores with coastal colors deliver a setting full of unforgettable moments. A private dining room was added with a see-through fireplace into the main dining area beyond. Up-to-date finishes, lighting and furniture create an appealing atmosphere that is unpretentious and authentic.
The new design has successfully transformed Pierside Kitchen & Packers Oyster Bar into a destination dining and socializing experience. The restaurant and bar now offer guests a unique experience that combines stunning views of the surrounding waters with a refined culinary diversity. GGLO’s design has accomplished the goal of creating a cohesive vision that respects the history of the site while incorporating modern design elements that create a welcoming atmosphere for guests.
