The Last Outpost Restaurant Concept
"The Last Outpost" was a themed entertainment design project I did for a hospitality group's pitch. It centered around a restaurant, bar and speakeasy theater on the skirts of an uncharted island; the last outpost for adventurers to gather supplies, have fun, and have a meal before setting off into another expedition.
The "front part" of the last outpost focused on the restaurant & sales of supplies portion, with trinkets found through the island as decor
The back-room also served as a theater and bar, in a sort of speakeasy manner
"The Last Outpost" could visually translate into many things, so I set up a matrix of references to get a sense of the client how they were visualizing it.
With something more on the "Lush vegetation" and "indiana Jones, 1950s-esque" setting, I set off to figure the fictitious location of this outpost to inform its design
Right at the shore of this uncharted Island, with many points of interest surrounding it
Although the project would really only ever tackle the interior, maybe a bit of a facade, the idea of a small structure that got make-shiftedly expanded overtime resonated with the client a lot, and that helped inform the final design
Rough floorplans were made and general concepts were brought into the fold
And based on client feedback they were refined into a colored illustration for their pitch, along a more "moody" version of the artwork, which you saw at the beginning of this project
