A versatile, community-minded space for an award-winning restaurant.

We created an airy, light-filled community gathering space for Split Polk St. in San Francisco’s Russian Hill neighborhood.

Our design opened up the main downstairs kitchen and mezzanine prep kitchen with a steel sash window wall that welcomes diners. Varied seating including banquettes, booths, and outdoor and community tables enhance the versatility of this cozy spot, which was awarded Eater SF’s best fast-casual restaurant of 2017.

“This is an absolutely exquisite use of an existing century-old hay barn. A daring and whimsical insertion of mirrored, conditioned boxes into a salvaged, slatted barn creates a beautiful respite from the wine country summer. The careful application of mirrors amplifies the rustic while avoiding the trivial game of material contrast. The correspondence with the landscape is wonderful. This is architecture for the soul and mind.”
