Our Restaurant Architectural Experience is Unmatched
Shea was founded as an architectural-design firm in 1978 and created its first restaurant design just two years later. The team has spent decades building relationships with top restaurateurs and brands around the country, creating everything from ground-up restaurants to original and reimagined prototypes for multiple locations. Our architectural team excels at creating spaces that meet all of a client’s needs, from function to budget, and partners with contractors and subcontractors who are also at the top of their field. We know how to build an environment that not only catches the diner’s eye but is a place where people really want to spend time and have a full experience.
The Shea Way
Shea creates total, all-encompassing experiences in every space that we design. Our design philosophy is to hit on every sense, every touchpoint, every feeling to give clients and diners what they can’t find anywhere else, while taking architectural parameters, codes, and ordinances into account. We design for you—to reflect your vision, your vibe, your passion—with the understanding and skill to back up every choice, and ability to guide clients through the entirety of the restaurant architecture process.
- Shea uses multiple architectural points to create restaurant spaces that are energetic and compelling.
- Our team’s experience spans a wide range, from designing chef-driven restaurants in historic spaces to prototypes poised for expansion.
- We’re a design firm that works for you—determining how to best connect with diners through a space and ultimately setting our clients up for long-term business success.
