This renovation was completed in 2018 on the Founders level of the Spectrum Arena. The scope of this project included a new staircase to access the restaurant from the suite level above, a new multifunctional enclosed meeting area, and a new branded design environment for the NBA Charlotte Hornets’ team restaurant, now called the Flight Deck. This design includes energetic architectural elements that play with the logo of this basketball team and yet enhances an upscale dining experience. 

The architectural features of the existing space, the expedited schedule, and code regulations provided multiple constraints to the the design development of this project. We specified materials that provide better acoustics to this very tall space and unique lighting fixtures that not only increase the lighting levels, but can also be programmed to change colors as needed. The furniture solutions are also very flexible and adjustable to accommodate a diverse array of functions. The AV components provide a more technologically sophisticated setup that make this space dynamic and enjoyable.
