Architecture & Sustainable Design: John H. Bernbaum
"I believe that architecture and art are closely related, each building is a work of art and a functioning building. There are a variety of architectural styles just as there are a variety of art styles; from the ornateness of the cathedrals to the minimalism of Mies van der Rohe."

Diagrams taken from the Sefaira program, showing the total floor area, the kBTU’s used per square foot per year, the equipment usage, the overlit, well-lit, and underlit diagram, and the gains and losses through the façade.
A daylighting diagram from Sefaira which shows whether the building is overlit, well lit, or underlit based on the colors (yellow is overlit, red is well lit, and blue is underlit).
In this rendering, the view is from the park side as if you were approaching the restaurant. This view shows the main restaurant building and the sculptural feature which is hiding the bar.
In this rendering, the view is taken as if you have walked through the sculptural feature and are looking at the main ordering window. This view also shows the bar and some of the seating areas.
