THE ROCKHILL GRILLE
KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI | 2016 SILVER MADA AWARD
The Rockhill Grille is an upscale American bar and grill in the heart of Kansas City’s art district. Housed within a four-story brick building, natural light from floor to ceiling garage doors fill the space. On a summer evening, you can find these doors open; absorbing the sounds and energy of the bustling neighborhood. The first floor space was re-imagined to create a centralized bar anchored by the existing concrete columns in their raw state. To solve the need for liquor storage, a custom shelving solution was located overhead. The intent was to keep the materiality minimal and allow the natural light from the doors lining the north side of the space to flood the area. The seating area provides a variety of options from bar seating, banquet seating for groups, and intimate two-person tables. The restrooms were re-located and we took innovative steps toward privacy and security utilizing individual stalls and shared sinks.
