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

LITTLE SKILLET

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.
