Rockwell Group proposes an adaptable kit-of-parts for outdoor dining during COVID-19.<\/span>
Image courtesy Rockwell Group<\/span><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Architecture and design firm Rockwell Group<\/a> has created a template for outdoor dining\u2014an adaptable kit-of-parts, accommodating a range of restaurants and street conditions following COVID-19.<\/p>\n

The solution offers five scales of cost-effective interventions, from minimal to more complex, and provides restaurants the flexibility to easily customize their own outdoor environments.<\/p>\n

The outdoor restaurant kit includes four parts. According to Dezeen<\/em><\/a>, it includes \u201ca dining booth, a sanitation station, wooden decking panels to cover pavements, and plant-covered street fencing. These are accompanied by accessory details like lighting, umbrellas, fans and planter benches. The existing restaurant would be limited to employees.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRockwell Group knew from the first days of this pandemic and the ensuing mandates for social distancing that we would have to make adjustments to how we dine out until the public health crisis has abated,\u201d the Rockwell Group wrote on its website. \u201cThis includes, first and foremost, creating a safe place for restaurant workers and guests, and better utilizing space outside restaurants during this period of social distancing, which will continue to evolve.\u201d<\/p>\n

Inspired by open-air cafes, and drawing on modular work, the concept\u2014including street zoning, space for sanitation and restaurant equipment, flooring, barriers, shading, lighting, and furniture\u2014would allow for expanded dining that flows into the sidewalk and part of the abutting streetscape.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have been in discussion with restaurant operators and staff, and the New York City Hospitality Alliance, about creating spaces that help jump-start business, while creating places for diners to feel safe and comfortable,\u201d Rockwell Group wrote.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
