Cuia Acia Restaurant
Cuia Acia Restaurant Build Out
My little shop tackled a monster of a project. It all started with a Sketchup file – a 3D glimpse of a soon-to-be restaurant in San Francisco. The clients and I hammered out the plan: I'd build everything, paint it all with a super tough epoxy to survive the shipping journey, and then pack it all neatly into a PODS container.
The installation on-site went smoothly, pretty incredible considering this was one of my first major cabinetry builds. From the frame around the fridge to the cashier's station, the long cabinets stretching behind it, even the signage and those cool arches hanging from the ceiling – I made everything you see in these pictures.
