Boothbay Harbor, Maine · Harborfront restaurant
Parsons Bar & Grill
The harborfront site at the foot of the village. The concept: a two-story restaurant with a rooftop bar in shingle and black steel, full-height glazing to the water, and a dock-side terrace. The building the harbor would come to.
The idea
This is the one site in the village that faces the water on three sides. The concept replaces a tired seasonal building with a two-story restaurant: a ground-floor dining room and raw bar opening to the dock, a second floor of booths and a long bar, and a rooftop terrace with a bar under the sky. Cedar shingle, black steel windows and a copper-lit sign make it read as a harbor building, not a mall.
An interior design proposal from House of Form sets the program in phases: concept development, construction drawings, construction administration, and furniture, fixtures and equipment.
