Red Door Construction completed the interior buildout of The Joyce, an intimate 45-seat modern American steakhouse located on historic Española Way in Miami Beach. Led by Michelin-trained Chef James Taylor, the restaurant was designed to evoke an “Old Hollywood” atmosphere, requiring a highly controlled execution of rich materials and layered finishes. The project focused on delivering a refined dining environment that supports both the culinary concept and guest experience.

Scope of Work
• Full interior restaurant buildout
• Construction of dining room, bar, and service areas
• Installation of custom dark walnut millwork and architectural detailing
• Integration of decorative and architectural lighting systems
• Installation of specialty finishes, including drapery integration and wall treatments
• Coordination of commercial kitchen equipment and back-of-house systems
• Mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and ventilation coordination
• Detailed finish carpentry and alignment of architectural elements

Key Features
• Intimate 45-seat layout designed for a high-end dining experience
• Custom dark walnut millwork defining the interior character
• Emerald drapery and layered finishes reinforcing “Old Hollywood” aesthetic
• Integrated lighting creating a warm, moody atmosphere
• Seamless connection between dining, bar, and kitchen operations

Construction Challenges
Achieving the intended “Old Hollywood” atmosphere required precise coordination of materials, lighting, and finishes, where minor inconsistencies would be highly visible. The compact footprint increased the importance of layout efficiency and sequencing of trades. Integration of kitchen systems within a tight space required careful planning to maintain both performance and design integrity.

Outcome
The completed restaurant delivers a distinctive and immersive dining environment that aligns with The Joyce’s concept and culinary identity. Through disciplined execution and attention to detail, Red Door Construction successfully created a space that balances atmosphere, functionality, and high-end hospitality standards.
