INTENTION IN EVERY DETAIL

A complete transformation of a Sag Harbor staple, blending modern elegance with subtle nods to tradition.
Zappola Construction reimagined the interior of Sen to deliver a refined, high-performance space that honors the restaurant’s legacy while elevating the guest experience. Clean lines, layered lighting, and custom finishes work together to create an intimate and functional setting — where every detail was designed to serve both beauty and flow.

Project Scope

  • Full interior demolition and reconstruction

  • Custom millwork and banquette seating

  • Sleek bar redesign with upgraded materials

  • Multi-layered ambient lighting installation

  • Reconfigured floor plan for optimized flow

  • Commercial-grade finishes for high-volume durability

  • Code compliance updates and structural reinforcements

  • Designer collaboration and vendor coordination

  • Timeline efficiency to minimize operational downtime

  • Finishing details that reflect Sen’s cultural roots

From concept to completion, the Sen renovation was a true collaboration between builder, designer, and client. Zappola Construction worked closely with the restaurant team to understand their operational needs, aesthetic vision, and long-term goals, ensuring every choice served both form and function.

The project required a full gut renovation with a tight timeline, carefully managed to minimize downtime and reopen on schedule. Our team oversaw all phases of construction with precision and care, from structural upgrades and custom fabrication to the final details that shape the guest experience.

The result is a warm, modern space that feels both fresh and familiar — built to welcome diners for years to come.
