ORLANDO, Fla. – Schmidt Design Studio announces that it has completed the interior design of Vince Carter’s restaurant in Daytona Beach, in coordination with architects Cuhaci & Peterson.

The upscale-casual restaurant—owned by the Orlando Magic star and his business manager Michelle Carter-Scott—evokes a contemporary, high-end lodge feel with the use of rustic stone-and-wood elements, a 30 ft. glass wall, and dramatic lakefront views.

“Vince Carter is a hometown hero, and we wanted to make sure his restaurant had all the pizzazz that he’s shown on the court,” said Anna Schmidt, the designer and owner of Schmidt Design Studio. “That’s why we created larger-than-life structures suspended from 30-ft. high ceilings and darting 15 ft. up walls.”

Patrons at Vince Carter’s will enjoy Schmidt’s handiwork throughout the interior, including:

Six wood-and-stainless metal structures suspended on aircraft cables from the 30-ft.-high ceiling.  These custom-designed pieces of art incorporate LED ‘star field’ lights inset into a faux painted backdrop.

A majestic woven metallic grid that rises 15 ft. up a vertical wall in the main dining area. The structure is backlit to show off glimmers of its stainless aluminum and bronze panels.

Four featured booths create the “spine” of the main dining room with arched ladder-like overhangs that add a dose of drama. Alongside the booths, the Gallery Wall features contemporary art.

The Owner’s Box, or VIP dining area, features an exquisite, custom 17-ft. spiraled chandelier with individually hung lit globes.

Mikala’s piano lounge near the entry features an intimate setting with private tables, glistening light fixtures, and unexpected colors and finishes.
