The Flamingo Room
Transforming a small theatre into a vibrant venue full of excitement and charm.Client Overview
The Flamingo Room draws inspiration from the vibrant atmosphere of Miami and is uniquely situated in Vancouver’s renowned Commercial Drive area. It redefines the local social scene by merging an eclectic neighborhood watering hole with a stage for live performances, embodying a distinctively festive yet relaxed vibe.
Project Goals
Space Optimization
Transforming the theatre into a multi-functional venue with efficient use of space for dining and social interactions.
Superior Aesthetics
Infusing Miami-inspired aesthetics into the decor to create a vibrant and inviting environment.
Functional Layout
Developing a layout that supports the dual function of dining and live performances, ensuring seamless operations and an enjoyable patron experience.
Solution & Approach
Addressing the challenge of the small existing space, our approach prioritized clever design solutions that maximized functionality without sacrificing style. The design strategically placed the bar to serve as the focal point, enhancing the flow of movement and interaction within the space.
The layout was carefully crafted to accommodate both dining and entertainment elements, ensuring each area was optimized for its specific use while maintaining a cohesive overall ambience.
Expert Installation
During the installation phase, the emphasis was on using durable, high-quality materials that reflect the Miami-inspired theme, enhancing both the functionality and visual appeal of the high-traffic venue.
Client Testimonial
“I’ve had the pleasure of enlisting the services of Foundry Commercial Kitchens for the past decade. Early on, mostly for sourcing equipment and smallwares, Luke and his knowledgeable team were quick to quote, and deliver exactly what I needed. My needs evolved into bigger projects including sourcing a custom hood vent on a short timeline which was executed seamlessly!
Recently, we built out a new cocktail bar. With a relatively small space and fairly specific needs in terms of equipment and custom stainless, the Foundry team put together an exceptional package which allows our bar team to execute at a high level in a tight space.
I am grateful for the strong relationship we’ve been fortunate to build over the past decade working with Foundry and would recommend them to anyone looking for an exceptional experience building out their restaurant/kitchen/bar.”
