Architectural Design Strategy

The Herb N’ Kitchen design is clean, casual, and handcrafted, with natural stone, handcrafted furnishings and hand-forged fixtures reinforcing the concept strategy and menu. Herb N’ Kitchen is scalable within itself, enabling the property to expand or contract required zones based on its needs and existing conditions. It is not only scalable given the zones and optional components, it is scalable within itself through the use of sliding doors and dining controls.

For even more flexibility, Herb N’ Kitchen offers multiple a la carte design options, including an indoor “farmer’s market” and the creative use of space for additional seating, private dining, and events.

Accessibility Information

The plans have been designed in compliance with the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design. The Architect of Record must note that additional accessibility requirements may also be required by state or local codes. These plans have not been designed to incorporate any of the more stringent requirements of state or local accessibility codes or standards and the plans must be modified to meet any such codes or standards.

The term “Accessible” will be used throughout these plans to refer to the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design which are mandated for places of public accommodation by Title III regulations of the ADA at 28 CFR part 36, subpart D; and must follow the 2004 ADAAG at 36 CFT part 1191, appendices B and D.

Download Standards Guide

The owner and Architect of Record must ensure that all modifications and changes to these plans meet or exceed the ADA and any state or local accessibility codes that are more stringent. The owner must also ensure that the facility is constructed and maintained in compliance with the ADA standards. These plans identify ADA minimum, maximum and dimensional ranges. Architects are strongly encouraged to specify dimensions that are below the maximum, above the minimum or in the middle of ranges to account for deviations that may occur during the construction process.

Additional information regarding the ADA requirements is provided within OnQ: Departments / Product Management Group / Brand Standards / Accessibility Channel.

POWER AND DATA SUMMARY

Power and Data receptacles provided for the use by guests and located within the seating areas should be mounted within the accessible reach range.

ACCESSIBLE SEATING

At least five percent of the total seating should be provided as accessible seating. Although the ADA Standards currently regulate built-in furniture only, Hilton intends to apply these standards to their loose furniture as well. Accessible seating must be dispersed through the dining areas across a variety of seating/table types to provide options for accessible dining.

Tables and dining counters must allow a 30” clear width for forward
