Located in Portland’s West End neighborhood, The Danforth is composed of three spaces: the bar, the lounge, and the three-season patio. Each space has subtly different treatments: the bar area has a lighter, textured wallpaper above a wainscot line, while the lounge — which is a couple steps down from the bar — has a darker paint finish above to introduce a moodier and softer energy at night. Similarly, the floor in the lounge is treated with a carpet, whereas the bar has wood floors.
The objective was to create an inviting, layered and multifaceted space. It is a day-to-nighttime neighborhood restaurant that needs to facilitate a variety of uses. The plan is flexible, with a communal energy, but also provides its patrons with an opportunity to tuck away into a corner for more intimacy. The existing building is angular, so curvature was introduced into the design to soften things. As a result, the booths are soft and enveloping. This is also reflected in other millwork, with subtle curves and slatting on the bar to introduce an-other layer of texture.
