Project Info
Stone Brewing Co. recently opened their highly anticipated new 23,500-square-foot restaurant and brewery in Liberty Station. Already named one of “8 Great Outdoor Bars in San Diego” by San Diego Magazine, it is one of the largest restaurants in San Diego County. Schmidt Design Group, Inc. collaborated with CEO and co-founder Greg Koch on the site’s surrounding one-acre landscaped garden and outdoor event space. The design features various courtyards and pockets of outdoor spaces meant to provide guests with a place to dine, enjoy craft beer, play and interact. The design features bocce ball courts, an outdoor space for movie screenings, a tea garden, and a main outdoor garden and dining area with unique, custom-designed water features, fireplaces, and bridges plus formal and informal seating. The plantings are drought-tolerant and low-water-use and the design incorporates reclaimed construction materials found on-site and regionally. Large iconic boulders and stones can be found throughout the gardens. Liberty Station is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Schmidt Design Group, Inc. assisted in attaining local, state, and federal approval through the substantial and strict historic oversight process.
