Since 1995, Guernsey Tingle has provided design services ranging from interior finish replacements to major expansion feasibility studies. One of the significant renovations included the 150-seat Banquet Room, with a warming kitchen, serving area, outdoor terrace for tented functions, and relocation of the main pro shop. In 1996, we completed the conversion of a little-used dining room into a member’s grill, complete with new entrance and support facilities.
	This restaurant and entertainment facility is one of the first buildings in a neo-traditional planned area just outside of the city of Williamsburg. Second floor offices open onto a balcony above outdoor dining below.
	The new facility is designed to take advantage of its siting, with a view towards a lake and forest through a south-facing window wall, shaded by a canopy. Heavy timber framing, clerestory lighting and fabric canopies in the informal dining space recall the architecture of the existing formal dining room, and the nautical traditions of the Northern Neck of Virginia.
	Working with Anheuser-Busch’s theming consultant, Guernsey Tingle developed this signature restaurant at the center of the water park to provide enhanced food options for park visitors. Its bold “fin” and colors attract the visitor’s attention, while the two food lines provide the much-needed capacity to handle peak summer crowds.
