Bluepoint Kitchen and Bar
The Bluepoint Kitchen and Bar is a high-end fresh seafood restaurant with a full bar and seating for 324. Design focus was given to the indoor/outdoor relationships and maximizing the potential of Tucson’s favorable climate. Large folding exterior doors allow the interior dining to completely open onto the exterior patio. A large circular bar and adjacent lounge area near the entry provide a comfortable waiting area and encourage bar sales. There are a variety of seating types to provide flexibility for the staff and options for the diners: tables, booths, group tables, group booths, bench seating, bar tables, bar stools, patio tables, and two private dining rooms.
Materials used include cherry wood, leather, steel, and stone which give the restaurant a sophisticated southwestern character. This project was a collaboration with the interior design firm Jones Baker of Dallas, Texas.
