The Brook at Lenbrook | Atlanta, GA
2020 NAHB Silver Best of 55+ Housing Awards - Indoor Common or Amenity Space
Centrally located in the Buckhead area of Atlanta, GA, Lenbrook is a vibrant Lifeplan Community offering a variety of amenities which enrich the lives of residents and staff alike. The community is known for its comprehensive dining services and The Brook is the newest and most active dining venue within Lenbrook’s growing campus.
This redesigned venue serves as Lenbrook’s most casual and lively dining experience. Open for lunch and dinner, guests experience table-side service after placing an order from single point of sale. Whether sitting in larger community tables or smaller, more intimate tables, the exhibition style kitchen adds to the liveliness of the space. Newly established defined zones within the space provide enhanced acoustics and a more intimate dining experience.
Positioned adjacent to the main lobby, The Brook is the feature amenity at the entrance of the community. The interior space has full height glazing, offering a connection to the outdoors and a direct view towards the bustling arrivals area for the community. This fast-casual hybrid concept serves a variety of fresh, flavorful, and quickly prepared menu items. From this venue, residents and their guests can enjoy dine-in, take-out and room service.
The intent for The Brook was to implement a “polished casual” dining experience within the existing bistro and transform it into a unique culinary venue with a quality interior atmosphere. Layered lighting, acoustical felt wall panels, and a vibrant plant wall enhance the overall interior ambiance. The floor plan was designed to establish a clear queuing line, provide flexible seating to accommodate high volume service times, and encourage socialization among residents. Heavy duty materials such as quartz, custom blackened steel pilasters, and vinyl tile were specified throughout to withstand the abuse of the food service duties and support the aesthetic palette.
The Brook is one of the overall campus design initiatives Lenbrook has implemented, as part of the upcoming Kingsboro Expansion project.
