VENICE, CA. RESTAURANT

Our initial venture into restaurant design involved transforming a cherished local gem in the trendy and boho-chic Abbot Kinney district of Venice, CA.

The goal was to reinvent it into a new establishment that would draw patrons back time and again. The scope of the project encompassed both interior and exterior design, along with comprehensive project management. Upstairs, we also conceptualized and implemented a Raw Vegan Culinary Academy for the same chef who would soon open the restaurant below.

The project involved craning in olive trees to create a dining canopy, curating a fully edible garden, transforming a standalone office into a wine tasting room, and executing a complete interior redesign. The establishment has gained recognition in various publications and is celebrated as one of the best outdoor dining experiences in Los Angeles. Our design objective was achieved by creating an environment that is fresh, clean, and organic, while also intricately detailed to complement the restaurant's culinary concept.
