GMA Architects & Planners completes designs for Deep Lagoon restaurant at Bimini Square
GMA Architects & Planners has unveiled its initial architectural designs for Deep Lagoon Seafood and Oyster House, which will be located at Bimini Square in Cape Coral.
The 8,000-square-foot waterfront restaurant will feature spectacular views of Bimini Basin, a waterway offering direct access to the Caloosahatchee River from two sides.
The building’s exterior will be concrete masonry with neutral stucco, punctuated with complementary stone wainscot on support columns. Ambient lighting and tropical landscaping will provide restaurant patrons and passersby with a sense of place, and outdoor seating will be elevated to provide unobstructed water views. A deep-blue, low-profile standing seam metal roof with dormers will create synergy with the sky and water.
Inside, the restaurant will feature a refined coastal elegance characterized by a classy, but less formal, dining experience. A nautical theme will permeate the dining room with mounted game fish, ocean-themed artwork and a living aquarium, establishing an ambiance reflective of an upscale New England fishing village.
Deep Lagoon, operated by Phelan Family Brands, is recognized for its expansive menu of epicurean adventures, from fresh, locally sourced seafood, a raw bar and seasonal specialties to prime cuts of steak, chowders, pastas, salads and desserts. The restaurant also offers an abundant selection of top-shelf wines and cocktails. GMA Architects won Summit Awards from the Lee Building Industry Association for its designs for Deep Lagoon restaurants in Fort Myers and Naples.
In addition to Deep Lagoon, Bimini Square, a project of Crown Development, will include luxury apartments, a Lee Health medical facility and variety of retail shops. The development’s boat slips and on-site parking garage will allow guests to travel by land or water. Bimini Square broke ground on Oct. 19 and construction is expected to be complete in 2025.
