来自事务所的描述：饭店老板兼夫妻团队Michael和Kelly Kim 受到美国和亚洲美食文化混搭的启发，想要一个与他们想法一致的空间，可以为人们提供美味、健康的佳肴。对于大多数前期预算要用于恢复失存的清真肉类市场的厨房，该设计必须要经济且容易建造。Michael 和 Kelly雇佣了另外一个夫妻团队，Fleetwood Fernandez事务所的Hunter Fleetwood和Paz Fernandez 来设计明亮开敞的空间。
From the architect. Restaurateur Husband-and-wife team Michael and Kelly Kim wanted a space aligned with their mission to offer delicious, healthful cuisine inspired by a mash up of American and Asian palates and cultures. With most of the shoe-string budget devoted to reviving the kitchen of a defunct halal meat market, the design had to be economical and easy to build. Michael and Kelly hired another husband-and wife team, Hunter Fleetwood and Paz Fernandez of Fleetwood Fernandez Architects to design the bright open space.
The design combines industrial materials with more expressive finishes like handmade wood furniture and ceramic tile. Fleetwood Fernandez also designed the organic installation of hundreds of melamine bowls which sits above the banquette seating area and represents the restaurant’s focal point.
The urban counterculture character of the space is reflected in details throughout: metal wire seating, bare bulb pendants in bright colors, and exposed ductwork. The restaurant also features the work of other local Los Angeles designers including a site specific commissioned drawing by Kozyndan, and chairs by Bend Goods.
