Equal parts intimate and social, the space offers a scale of transparency throughout, allowing the food to take center stage.
Traditional and contemporary furniture elements are combined with reclaimed and adapted materials to create a refined, warm palette. Juxtaposed with new kitchen equipment, exposed systems and existing concrete, the space is a balance of old and new.
Art walls, plants and reclaimed objects add a sense of personality and texture that ground the space in a human scale, and act as armatures for display.
