Solar Harvest

Restaurant

solar HARVEST™ has created an interior that is as healthy and natural as the food we will be serving. Those eating at solar HARVEST™ will dine in an atmosphere that will provide quality, natural food selections that will enable guests to maintain optimum health and a balanced lifestyle in a nurturing environment; since we are concerned about the health and welfare of our clients and staff, and about the environment and the need to preserve natural resources, the space will be remodeled using all environmentally friendly materials.

Table Top

The table tops are made of an interesting and beautiful material called Kirei board. It is a natural material made with rapidly renewable sorghum stalks and non-toxic adhesives. Kirei is the Japanese character signifying “beautiful” or “clean.”

Banquette

Plyboo tambour paneling, a bamboo product, is used as the banquette surface. The raw tambour retains the outside skin of the bamboo with its rough surface and raised nodes. The color will be a natural green. Environmentally friendly fabrics will be used on the chairs and booth and will carry out the orange and green of the koru symbol.

Room Dividers

Room dividers are made of ecoresin, an environmentally friendly product with natural grasses and leaves encased in translucent layers. The elements are from the earth, they are unique, and every piece is slightly different from the rest.

Countertops

Countertops are made of Caesarstone, a natural quartz product that repels the microbes and bacteria that other surfaces retain.

Counterfront

A beautiful fruitwood burl veneer is used on the counter. It is from Treefrog, a company that manufactures with the earth in mind. Treefrog veneer adheres to the most up-to-date environmental techniques in the production of its veneers. Sustainable forestry is practiced, and the manufacturing process is dedicated to pollution-free processing and designed to completely utilize all of the raw materials.

Tiling

Recyclable, environmentally friendly mosaic tiles is used in the space.

Outdoor Dining

Those dining at solar HARVEST™ can choose to eat outdoors on our sidewalk patio.

Wallcoverings and paint

Wallcoverings are from Innovations. The Innvironments line of wallcoverings is composed of either natural and renewable or recyclable materials, using water-based inks that contain no heavy metals nor off gas harmful pollutants. The paint used on the interior is non-toxic and will not release any VOCs into the atmosphere. There will be no new paint smell with your lunch!

Logo

The spiral in the solar HARVEST™ logo is a koru shape which symbolizes new and positive beginnings, geometry of life and continuation. The koru also represents peace, tranquility and spirituality. Each of these principles is part of the solar HARVEST™ philosophy and culture and is enhanced by the combination of the green and orange color palette. These two colors are present in many fresh natural foods, but also denote a liveliness and vivacity.

Take-Out Window

At solar HARVEST™ we’ll have a take-out window that allows you to pick up your internet or phone-ordered food without ever having to come inside the restaurant. Situated on the side of the restaurant, you can easily pick up your food and pay quickly without having to wait in line with those dining at the restaurant. If you have to wait for your food, you can enjoy the natural planted foliage that will line the take-out area.

Artwork

In its efforts to promote local suppliers, solar HARVEST™ will display the work of local artists on its walls. The artwork will add to the warmth of the environment.
