Project Description:

For those local to Rhode Island, the name Seven Stars Bakery is synonymous with incredible artisan bread and pastry. In 2020, Food Network named Seven Stars Bakery to its list of The Best Bread Bakeries in America. So when they outgrew their existing commissary and needed a partner to design them a new place to call home, Vision 3 Architects jumped at the opportunity. Following extensive studies of several properties, Vision 3 Architects, alongside the bakery’s food service consultant (RealFood | Hospitality, Strategy & Design), conceptualized a new state-of-the-art 17,675 s.f. commercial commissary that nearly doubled their previous footprint – affording them the ability to remove process inefficiencies with strategic space planning, integrate sophisticated baking equipment including two massive 400,000 BTU deck ovens and a robotic loader to improve bake consistency/quality/volume, and support the growing needs of their retail business both now and in the future.
