AHBL provided civil engineering and land survey services for the beautiful waterfront 7 Seas Gig Harbor Taproom. The taproom was developed to maximize the panoramic views of the Gig Harbor Lighthouse, Puget Sound, and Mount Rainier. The property features a 1,100 SF patio off the upper-level taproom, with lower levels providing brewing space, an office, and storage space. The existing 4,300 SF dock was modified down to 3,700 SF, allowing visits by land or sea with access from the harbor for boats, kayaks, and stand-up paddleboards. Floor-to-ceiling windows maximize the pristine views, and the wood exterior emulates the fishing village-feel of Gig Harbor.
 
AHBL’s civil engineering team worked with the City of Gig Harbor and the design team to fit the desired features, minimized grading to retain existing trees, worked with neighboring driveway connection, and eliminated stormwater detention requirements for the project. The tight site and buffering requirements to the neighbors made the site very constrained. The project also included frontage improvements to Harborview Drive as required by the City.
