The site was a beachfront four acres overlooking Long Island Sound. It was formally the site of a locally famous restaurant that had been there for fifty years, and was surrounded by small old summer houses.
The program was for a 30,000 sq. ft. multi-use facility, which included a health club with an inside swimming pool at beach level, a 300 seat banquet facility and 130 seat restaurant on the second level and a balcony bar on third level overlooking the dining below.
