Chomp Chomp (now Spiceland)

In 2019, Stemach Design + Architecture coordinated with the owners of a new Japanese-American fusion cuisine concept to create a modern restaurant in the downtown Bend O’Kane Building. Now operated as Spiceland, the suite continues as an Indian restaurant. New seating booths and benches create niche dining areas, along with a ramen take-out/prep station with a street-side pickup window. The 2,400 square-foot suite features a custom bar-to-ceiling liquor display constructed of reclaimed wood that blends together the historic character of the building with a new contemporary atmosphere.

Stemach Design made strategic use of an existing front-facing 350 square-foot mezzanine to increase dining capacity and giving the space a sweeping ambiance. Complex area separation requirements for code compliance were accomplished, with careful assessment of the entire building’s uses and occupancies.
