A restaurant concept changes. The project keeps moving.
Client: Lucky Momo Group | Location: West Midtown, Atlanta | Size: 2,100 SF | Sector: sushi and cocktail bar
Cocktails First, Sushi Second
Lucky Star began as a speakeasy concept below an office building before the plan shifted toward a cocktail-forward lounge. The redesign changed the restaurant’s orientation and required renewed permit applications. Lupo Group provided predesign, design, revisions, and construction administration, coordinating review timelines and communicating the trade-offs behind key decisions.
The project opened in December 2024. Its story illustrates how architectural work and process management can support an operator through major concept changes.
Lupo handled: Predesign, design, many revisions and construction administration
Location: 1055 Howell Mill Road, Suite 110, Atlanta, GA 30318.
Square Footage: 2,100 square feet.
Timeline: 2023-early 2024.
Lupo Scope: Lupo was the architect of record and interior designer. The space was a cold dark shell. We were responsible for designing the space for café and omakase cocktail engagement.
Challenge: There was no place for kitchen exhaust. After significant due diligence Lupo Group worked closely with Michelin-starred chef Jason Liang on creating an offering with no kitchen hood.
