02 · Plan
Openness and intimacy, around a living spine
The main dining area balances openness and intimacy around a continuous planting feature. The bar is a social hub, and a demo kitchen and event space support interactive culinary and educational programs.
03 · Spaces
Dining, bar and demo kitchen
04 · Sections
Planting you can eat under
05 · Custom design
A host stand that sets the tone
I designed a custom host stand that sets the restaurant’s visual identity at arrival, plus “Opulence” and “Herb Bouquet” planter details for the dining room and bar.
06 · Identity
A brand to match the room
Outcome
A restaurant that teaches
A full commercial design package: concept, branding, rendered plans, sections, custom millwork and material boards for a restaurant built around urban farming.
