We finally got the chance to photograph Oral Explosions Eateries at night! It has been open since the beginning of summer and by all accounts a very successful project. The owner is very passionate about lighting, and the image of the building as a gateway to the San Marco area of Jacksonville both day and night.
We used white stucco columns and exterior LED wall wash lights that change color to bring the building alive at night. A small range of the colors can be seen in theses photos.
The building sits several feet above the side walk, so we used translucent glass panels to obscure, but not obstruct the view into the restaurant. The above photo shows the great shadows that are created at night. This works with the LED lights to really make the building dynamic.
We were able to use some great finishes and fixtures on the interior, especially the fixtures that hang over the ordering isle and the exposed spiral duct.
