our office was miraculously spared by the tornado in st. louis this afternoon. many many others were not so lucky. hundreds of residents are displaced from their severely damaged homes, windows blown out, roofs ripped off, masonry walls collapsed. at least one cleanup starts tomorrow (saturday) at at 10am.

Spanning more than 9,000sf, the challenge of this residential renovation/addition was to unify and simplify. The new design approach focused on a single ‘modern-mission style,’ hacking away the disjointed components, then adding and strengthening the relationships that reinforced it.

Home of chef new restaurant, this 3-story brick building in the has been restored and reprogrammed to include ground-level dining with residential occupancy, above. The restaurant’s entry was relocated from the western street-corner to the opposite, eastern side, where a covered courtyard invites guests directly into the heart of the space, providing safer egress and better connection to the outdoor dining. Utilizing the adjacent vacant lot, a new steel-framed patio structure continues the cadence of the existing storefront and doubles the restaurant’s seating capacity. To provide access to the upper level units, a new exterior staircase was built, maximizing the usable interior footprint of each floor and complementing the architecture of the new patio canopy, reinforcing the design vocabulary of ‘old’ vs ‘new’. 📸

As more restauranteurs expand into the county the trick is creating a space that feels on-brand, unique, and original. Inhabiting a former “First Watch” tenant suite, this project aims to provide a sense of ‘place’ within a sea of chain stores and restaurants.

Recalling the Restaurant’s original location in the heart of downtown St Louis, the new design celebrates custom, hand-crafted, steel and wood fabrication pieces throughout. Dividing walls, benching, shelving, and booth seating, made from common 2x6s, cedar fencing, and inexpensive whiteboard shelving, combined with custom-fabricated steel components unite the dining space, creating a brand-language, providing warmth and texture, and visually relate the ‘from scratch’ ethos from the ‘back of house’ to the front.
