Cheba Hut, South Austin: A Corner Patio in Cheba Green
Cheba Hut is a franchise sub shop with a loud look, and the South Austin store wears it: a black mesh tower over a wood-wrapped patio on a busy corner. The owner wanted the patio open through the winter without a single thing that looked bolted on. The curtains came in Cheba green with clear windows, the frames in black, and the whole thing disappears into the hoods when the weather turns.
What we built

What made this one different
Color and corner. The green is matched to the brand, which sounds simple until it has to sit next to a black mesh tower and a wood base and look like it was always there. The corner has two long sides, so the curtains run in two directions from the same post and the doors land where guests already walk in from the lot.
