Project Description:
BRISTOL STREET FOOD HALL
This gourmet food hall is envisioned to revitalize a distressed retail strip center property. The design provides a community centered, active program via a farm-to-table food gallery to create a dynamic and vibrant street life. The adjacent self-storage building is planned as a future phase.
The unique site, neighboring John Wayne Airport and the Newport Beach Golf Course while featuring access to a proposed neighborhood bike trail, connects to the commercial corridor along Bristol Street.
ARCHITECTURAL CONCEPT – The Industrial warehouse style design strategically orients itself as a foreground building centrally sited at the most visible point of property. This predominant location offers visibility from freeway and access road into the interior. Both entrances on the north and south integrate large folding glass industrial doors for seamless indoor/outdoor connectivity.
The building form recalls the characteristics of adaptive re-use food halls with a simple architectural form. The clean planar armature of the Food Hall building is defined with rich, dark wood exterior siding, expressive signage, a high vaulted, sky-lit interior space with exposed structure and systems. This building is equipped with noise mitigating structural glass while maintaining daylight and views to surrounding landscape.
ACTIVATE, VIBRANT STREET LIFE – Outdoor café seating amid urban vegetable and herb gardens greets visitors at the entry and encourages bike path usage with convenient bike access. The ability to see the activity inside introduces a lively façade along Bristol, activating this community hub during both daytime and evening hours. Patrons will be able to enjoy views of the surrounding landscaping and airport traffic.
GREEN INITIATIVES The project expects to achieve a net zero energy goal with LED lighting and natural ventilation, practices to avoid heat gain such as cool roof, and power generation with roof top solar panels. Sustainable practices in site development include vegetated drainage swales, pervious pavement parking and decomposed granite surfaces for stormwater capture and filtration. Environmentally friendly recycled content materials with low VOC ratings are planned throughout. Raised planter beds for edible produce are featured as an integral part of the food hall experience.

Description
The jury appreciated the lightness of the interiors and the overall quality of space throughout the project. They felt the site organization was strong and the adaptive reuse of the badly designed strip mall showed great aspirations for the project. They look forward to its completion.
Congratulations Wiley architects.
