THE LOBSTER TRAP – Asheville, NC

Built in 1885, this building is part of a contiguous row of two, three and four-story commercial buildings in the historic downtown district. The tin ceiling was preserved and systems upgraded. A full kitchen, bar and seating areas for 105 were created with a nautical theme. The front façade is an operable wall system, creating the ambiance of eating outdoors. We also designed the seven residential condos on the upper floors. This project received a Griffin Award for Excellence in Preservation.
