We worked with Chef & The Butcher to create a multi-functional space, designed to serve as a restaurant, marketplace, and butcher shop.

Pairing a minimal aesthetic with materials that reference the building’s history, the new space creates a warm, inviting atmosphere. Central placement of the smoker leads the eye through the space and creates a dynamic interior focused on food as theater.

In the rear, outdoor seating and a takeout window provide ample opportunities to take in the sights and smells of this craft-focused space, creating a complete sensory experience.
