Fisher Architecture designs The Crooked Hammock in Lewes

Fisher Architecture LLC, a locally owned, experienced architectural firm providing functional design and construction solutions to clients, announced it is the local firm hired in the design of a new 7,000-square-foot brewpub called The Crooked Hammock at 16989 Kings Highway in Lewes.

LaVida Hospitality Group, operator of Nage, Root Gourmet and Big Chill Surf Cantina near Rehoboth, hired Fisher Architecture to produce permit structured drawings, exterior renderings, interior design and manage the permit process for the project. Fisher designed a brewpub with a secluded, backyard feel, yet visibility to make it accessible to visitors.

“Our client wanted the brewer to be the focal point of the building and visible to anyone anywhere in the venue. We designed the bar to wrap around the brewery to engage people and allow them to see what is being brewed at any given time,” said Keith Fisher.

The one-story area connects three separate buildings into one space. The layout includes a main dining space, bar dining space and an outdoor patio. Interior design will feature a beach influence with cedar and sand, and wood and metal undertones. The actual brewing space will be visible for patrons to experience the brewing process and operations.

“The Fisher team was quick on the job, creative and delivered exactly what we were looking for,” said Rich Garrahan, owner and operator of The Crooked Hammock and member of LaVida Hospitality. ”We loved working with their interior designer to transform the brewery into a beach escape.”

Construction started in February, and the brewpub is scheduled to be complete and open by this summer.
