Seger Architects was commissioned to design the new Sea Level restaurant in the historic seaport city of Newburyport, MA. Sea Level is a successful, waterfront seafood restaurant currently in Salem ,MA. The Owner, currently operating Sea Level and another more upscale waterfront establishment is looking to expand his waterfront based fare to this toney, historic community.

Seger Architects was commissioned to fit-out the new Sea Level restaurant in the iconic Newburyport building, the Firehouse Theater.

Working with the existing fabric Seger Architects is introducing a modest addition to expand dining space and creating an “outdoor room” with a structured permanent pergola structure topped with a double, hipped roof canopy. This will allow for al fresco dining and expand the seasonal outdoor dining experience at this waterfront venue.

The restaurant will be completely renovated to include a large, full bar, Oyster Bar, dining area and full kitchen. As part of the agreement with the theater owners and the City of Newburyport the Owner will be renovating and modernizing the existing toilets which are open to the public and part of the Chapter 91 waterfront license offering a facility of public accommodation.

To expand the al fresco dining experience on both the downtown fronting façade and rear waterfront facing façade, upward acting glass overhead doors will be added to connect the indoors to the outdoors.

Warwick Place, located in Marblehead, MA is home to a restaurant and luxury dine-in cinema complex.  The only thing it was missing was a morning and day time draw.  The owners of Warwick Place partnered with the Dandee Donut Factory to fill this need.  Seger Architects, Inc. was challenged to use an existing space to create a home for the Dandee Donut Factory, serving old fashion donuts and made to order breakfasts.  The existing bathrooms needed to serve the cinema, restaurant and Dandee Donuts.  SAI was able to reconfigure the bathrooms and their entrances to allow for uninterrupted seating and hostess areas.  The design of the donut display and point of sale area was instrumental in making the new space work.  SAI helped create a vibrant and functional area in the only underutilized space at Warwick Place.

A&B Burgers commissioned Seger Architects, Inc. to design a trendy but casual space.  A&B Burgers took over the space being used as a skate park and formerly a food market. Working with Seger Architects, they completely renovated the space, imbuing their unique funky aesthetic and up-scale all american fare.  Large overhead garage doors are used to open the space to the sidewalk.

Natural materials together with the heavily rusticated metals and accents create an exciting eclectic, industrial feel to the space.

A&B Burgers commissioned Seger Architects in 2013 to design a trendy but casual space to blend harmoniously within the historic context of the multi-award winning, National Register structure known as the Salem Jail Complex in Salem, MA. SAI Project Architect, Dan Ricciarelli, was instrumental in implementing the initial development of the vacant, historic jail complex. Key to the development and the backbone of the proposal was the Jail’s historic adaptive use as a multi-use project. In the 1880 brick rear addition, a space was carved out on the grade level and fitted for a prospective restaurant tenant.

SAI’s client A&B Burgers took over the space in 2012 from a previously failed restaurant and working with Seger Architects completely renovated the space imbuing their unique funky aesthetic and up-scale all american fare.

Natural materials together with the heavily rusticated interior masonry, former metal jail parts and stainless steel-like bar top and accents create an exciting eclectic, industrial feel to the space.

Seger Architects met the challenge of incorporating a modern intervention into a historically sensitive building and context. A&B Burgers situated in the Historic Salem Jail Complex continues to be an important icon in Salem’s rich architecture and vibrant restaurant scene.
