Talk about a TOTAL TRANSFORMATION, restaurant designer Haldeman took the musty old "Ships Inn" in Northport and was able to create a space, mood, and experience TOTALLY unrelated to its previous incarnation and reintroduce it to the community of Northport, Long Island as "7T8" European Fusion.

"BEFROE" The Ships Inn resemble every other restaurant on Main St in Northport, LI, NY with shellacked wood paneling installed half a century ago.

"AFTER" This LED wave wall was the centerpiece of the space noe, "7T8" and provided the wow-factor for this restaurant design by Raymond Haldeman.

"After" The small space did not have a bar, so restaurant designer Raymond Haldeman took space from an unused bus-station and angled the Marble & Onyx Bar.


Here, the restaurant designer replaced old wood paneling with recessed mirrors encased in boxed woodwork and added high-back banquettes to replace the old diner-like booths.

"After" The exterior was stripped down to its original form.

"After" Clean & vibrance turned out to be a visual hit but restaurant designer Raymond Haldeman!


The old musty booths were removed and replaced with a spectacular LED edge-lit glass bar top facing the windows in the front of the building.  As an experienced restaurant designer and former owner/operator Raymond knew that tourists would not be able to resist the appeal of the high style bar and assured his clients it would serve as an invitational billboard for the restaurant.  Indeed it does!

"Before" Drop-ceilings, old wood and laminate table tops.

The magnificent bar-top and Stainless Steel Liquor Soffit proved to be an efficient use of space, providing 60 linear feet of bar-top and good storage.
