Architect seeks insulated, retractable window system for La Citarra restaurant
Summary
Brandis Architecture presented plans to replace single‑glazed windows, reopen an original high ceiling and reinstall a skylight at La Citarra; the planning committee approved the storefront and upper‑glass changes to improve winter seating comfort.
Leonard Brandis of Brandis Architecture told the committee he represents La Citarra and described a plan to replace the restaurant's single‑glazed storefront and upper glass, reopen the original higher ceiling and replace a sealed skylight. "I'm Leonard Brandis, Brandis Architecture, representing the extended restaurant that we now have there," Brandis said, describing a three‑panel metal system with wood interior that would be fully insulated.
Brandis said the work aims to make the seating area comfortable in winter and to present a unified façade; the project does not replace the door but will refinish it to match the new system. The design review board had already approved earlier modifications, and no public comments were offered during the public meeting. The committee moved to approve the proposed changes on Cedar Street and voted in favor.
