Commonwealth is a restaurant, bar and market owned by former Fenway Park executive chef Steve "Nookie" Postal. Located on the ground floor of Watermark II, a new modern full-service high-rise apartment complex at 250 Kendall St. in Cambridge’s Kendall Square neighborhood, Commonwealth features a 1,300 SF marketplace, 5,200 SF restaurant/bar, private dining room and outdoor patio.
RODE envisioned a material palette of large rough architectural elements paired with warm rustic surfaces. This approach complemented the chef’s vision for connecting his patrons to the farm fresh ingredients that evolve with the seasons. Back-lit wooden pallets create the visual patterning that echoes the construction techniques of a rural Vermont barn. A copper bar and market counter with brick and custom steel light fixtures complete the design aesthetic.
“Through this crazy long and sometimes painful process, RODE has done an awesome job capturing my vision for Commonwealth. Their hardwork and commitment throughout the project, from picking out antiques at Brimfield to adjusting the lights on Friends and Family Night, has been seriously appreciated.” said Steve "Nookie" Postal, owner and executive chef of Commonwealth.
