The blending between the richness of the past with the vibrancy of the new materials creates a very special space. The entry introduces a number of design materials and touches that are carried throughout the restaurant. Patrons entering the restaurant immediately face a wall constructed of stacked recycled Douglas fir timbers. Portholes of varying sizes were randomly placed in the wall to allow guests on either side to see what's happening on the other side. A wood bench begins in the vestibule and runs through an opening in the wall to the waiting area on the other side.
Lights recessed in the wall's inner edge are a somewhat surprising touch.
The wall also functions as one of the display areas for art that were incorporated into the restaurant. Varying works of smaller sizes are exhibited on the waiting area side of the wall. Other entry features include a glass storefront, painted soffits and both tile and wood. The materials introduced in the entry carry through to the reminder of the space and are accented by a muted color palette of red, blue and yellow. The lower level dining area features a combination of three fabric and vinyl covered banquettes that are supported by a back of Douglas fir plywood and steel.
