STERLING, VA
1,560 sf
WASHINGTON, DC
The challenge of this new restaurant design was to fit the required seating, circulation, and kitchen into a narrow building with only one means of egress in this 15’ wide, 85’ long, two-story building. Since experiencing a layering of different restaurant activities was essential to the “matchbox” concept, we offset the floors, added a mezzanine, and kept the prep area open, to create a multi-level, dynamic space with engaging and exciting views.
Within three years, the owners decided to expand and leased two adjoining buildings: a three story wood frame building to house a new kitchen, dining, and their offices, and a steel and glass greenhouse for additional dining. Re-using the same design elements as in the first phase of the project helps tie the spaces together into a cohesive whole.
