GC Magazine editors picked nine of the most outstanding restaurant architects working in Honolulu. These architects are specialists in restaurant and commercial architecture. With several years of experience in the business, these architects provide excellent designs for restaurants, bars, and cafes in Honolulu and the rest of Hawaii.
GC Magazine described G70 as:
A heavyweight in the architecture industry. This prestigious firm has been featured repeatedly in Hawaii Business Magazine and Honolulu Star-Advertiser. Partly responsible for this recognition is its chairman, Francis Oda. In 2014, he was given the Hawaii Business Leader of the Year recognition by the Pacific Business News. On top of this, Oda has received 50 design awards including the American Institute of Architects Honor Award. Oda is a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects (FAIA) and LEED AP. He leads the firm’s award-winning team in providing outstanding services and continuing its already impressive track record.
Established in 1971, G70 mixes tradition and innovation to produce unique and relevant architecture. Its expertise includes conceptual design, development of resort communities, and comprehensive support for commercial and medical facilities. One of the firm’s most exemplary projects is the Hilton Tropics. This restaurant—located in one of the top hotels in the world—needed a full renovation. The firm turned the space into an open-air restaurant, taking advantage of the picturesque waterfront. Thanks to bamboo accents and floral patterns the space is a tropical dining paradise.
For five decades, this outstanding firm has provided quality designs that capture the essence of its local community.
