"Orange
#3"
Scrape and rebuilds are a
common approach among franchisees whose existing buildings are reaching their
useful life span. In reusing the existing sites, the architect is faced
with placing newer buildings with drive-thrus on sites that were meant for the
smaller buildings of the past.
This problem calls for
some creative solutions. Century Fast Foods had just the site. Their
former building was an old Pup-n-Taco conversion. In order to maximize the
site FCA had to modify an L50 prototype and reduce the square footage to balance
the building area with the available parking.
Creative planning on the
inside yielding only three seats less than the L50, while reducing the overall
square footage by 300 square feet. The outside massing was layered with an
additional colonnade that gave the building a larger presence.
