Overview
Runza, a beloved fast-food chain, sought to expand its footprint in Lawrence, Kansas, with the construction of a new commercial restaurant building. The project aimed to create a modern and inviting space that aligned with the brand's identity while meeting local building codes and regulations. The location presented unique challenges, including unpredictable weather patterns and stringent zoning requirements, requiring careful planning and strategic solutions.
The Challenge
- Zoning Compliance: Lawrence, KS, had specific zoning regulations that needed to be adhered to, impacting the layout and design of the restaurant.
- Weather Considerations: The region experienced extreme weather conditions, including heavy rain and storms. The construction timeline needed to account for potential delays caused by adverse weather.
- Brand Alignment: Maintaining the brand image was crucial. The design had to reflect the familiar Runza aesthetic while incorporating modern elements to attract a diverse customer base.
The Solution
- Zoning Navigation: Our team worked closely with local authorities to ensure compliance with zoning regulations. By understanding and addressing the requirements early in the planning phase, we streamlined the approval process.
- Weather-Resilient Construction: To mitigate weather-related challenges, we implemented a flexible construction schedule that allowed for adjustments in response to unpredictable weather patterns. Additionally, durable and weather-resistant materials were selected to ensure the longevity of the structure.
- Customized Design: Collaborating with the Runza team, our architects created a customized design that seamlessly blended the brand's traditional elements with contemporary aesthetics. The result was a visually appealing restaurant that stood out while staying true to the brand's identity.
Outcome
The new Runza Restaurant in Lawrence, KS, stands as a testament to successful collaboration and strategic problem-solving. The zoning challenges were navigated efficiently, the construction process weathered unexpected storms, and the final design harmoniously combined the iconic Runza look with a fresh, modern feel.
