The Tavern Restaurant Group presented MSA Design with the challenge of creating the uniqueness of the English Pub within the atmosphere of the American shopping center.

Rookwood Commons, is part of the “Lifestyle” design trend currently under way in shopping center development. The site chosen was in the back of an adjacent shopping center and presented many design challenges. After visiting several pubs throughout London and the London countryside, we focused on design concept which was to have an urban feel, yet provide the comfortable “like home” atmosphere known to many of the pubs located throughout the countryside of England.
