Monsieur Marcel
1260, 3rd Street Promenade, Santa Monica, CA, United States
Design-build of a French wine & cheese café on the third street promenade. The existing pavilion was part of the original design of the promenade, which is zoned as a pedestrian street that is closed to vehicular traffic in the heart of Santa Monica. The original structure of the pavilion could not be modified, while the program called for transforming two existing café spaces into one. A wood surface was selected for the design that is applied to the entire length of the wall in an striated pattern. The wood acts as a unifying element that reveals itself as a back drop and is interspersed with back lit Plexiglas, which brings the users of the space into the foreground, thus, revealing the activity taking place within and around the pavilion. The glass garage doors open widely to the public right of way, offering a visual and physical connection to the pedestrian life that animates the street. There is also a barrier that encircles the structure, required by building and zoning codes. Our intention for the barrier is to have it function not only as an enclosure, but dually as a bench that negotiates between the private functions of the café and the public aspect of the promenade, hence, joining the uses of public and private space.
