Our client had a vision for a new type of quick-service restaurant that offers made-from-scratch food options that are simultaneously healthful and cravable. This emphasis on quality, attention to detail, and an active lifestyle is reflected in the store design. The interiors are inspired by West-Coast living with its abundance of natural light and bright inviting interior. The airy atmosphere is accentuated by clean architectural lines and a palette of fresh, soothing colors inspired by nature and the outdoors. Wooden accents throughout the interior lend a touch of mid-mod charm, grounding the space in a sense of natural serenity. Sustainability was an important driving force in our selection of materials and furnishings. From the terrazzo counters to the Hempwood tabletops and exposed beams overhead, we wanted to be conscious of selecting materials that were inherently beautiful but, also in harmony with nature.
The design of the open kitchen as an extension of the dining room is a statement about food transparency and invites guests to participate in the energy and excitement of the kitchen. The dining room is organized around a pair of large community tables that foster a sense of connection while savoring wholesome meals with friends and family. Booths set below custom pendant fixtures and sculptural plaster artwork provide a cozier dining experience. The abundance of lush greenery adds a vibrant splash of life and a breath of fresh air to the casual eatery. The thoroughly landscaped patio is outfitted with potted plants and trees. Tables set below white canvas umbrellas are inspired by the experience of al-fresco dining in a park. The space and its details reflect the restaurant’s identity and mission which is committed to a sense of well-being and vitality for its patrons.
