2005 Boston Society of Architects Honor Award for Design ExcellenceThe design of this restaurant/lounge was inspired by the client’s ‘finger food’ only menu. The intent was to exploit this sense of tactility by juxtaposing raw natural materials with diverse textures (felt, steel, concrete and wood).The storefront was created as a large picture window(s). Two large translucent screens ride up and down in a recessed track, allowing for shading in the day (raised) and a scrim at night (lowered) to filter in the view from the street.
