A custom parklet, complete with tiered seating and planters, that invites you to gather and stay awhile!

Little Skillet Parklet Design and Fabrication

Parklet walls are made fom horizontal cedar planks. In some spots, a lack of panels reveal a cobalt blue section, or expose planters, giving the entire parkelt a pixelated feel.
Succulents fill the planters embedded in the parkelt's walls, surrounded by a blue powdercoated steel structure and cedar slats.

LMNOP designed and built a custom parklet to expand Little Skillet's outdoor dining capacity and need for additional queing space, all while creating a vibrant extension of the restaurant's brand.

Crafted from knotty cedar, brick pavers, and powder-coated steel, the custom outdoor dining space balances durability with a playful identity that reflects Little Skillet's signature character. Tiered seating, integrated planters, and flexible gathering areas invite customers to linger, whether enjoying a meal, meeting friends, or taking in the energy of San Francisco's SoMa neighborhood. The result is a hospitality-driven streetscape that enhances the guest experience while activating the public realm.

Tiered wooden outdoor seating offers adaptable spaces for sitting and eating, along woth movable benches.
