At the end of the year, Wild Ginger Thai will be moving, and it's been our pleasure to help them with the design of their new location. They'll be going from their current 3,000 SF location in Colorado Springs to the 8,330 SF former Eagle Graphics building in Manitou Springs.
Wild Ginger's new facility is in the walkable community of Manitou. Consistently awared "Number #1" by The Colorado Springs Independent for Thai food in Colorado Springs, Wild Ginger already has a large group of local customers. Now they will receive more exposure to tourists as well.
Their new layout gives them much more kitchen space, a dining area seating 106, and even leaves a small rentable space (anyone want to work next door to yummy Thai cuisine?). Later on Wild Ginger hopes to add on a bar to the restaurant space.
Those of you that have seen the Eagle Graphics building will be glad to know that we'll be giving the front exterior a face-lift in this project's next phase, probably with an appropriate Thai theme.
Lines and Designs is joining us on this project to assist in space-planning and to lead in interior design. Economically, Wild Ginger will be reusing much of their equipment and furniture, including their red vinyl booths. However, by adding a great color palette, a well-thought out table arrangement and chic lighting and flooring, we think this project will be able to compete with Lines and Design's work in Conservation Hardware earlier this year.
