Articulate: Cafe




This deli needed to be updated to create cohesion between the existing appliances and storage racks and the building’s historical architecture.  I helped to develop a solution that was based in cost-effective finish updates. Our inspiration came from French cafes and the existing ornate ceiling work which had been left to fade.  I suggested durable wainscoting, chair rails, and matching covers for the existing salad bar and counters to create unity.  New historical replica light fixtures help to articulate the ceiling’s beauty.  I used AutoCAD to draft and Photoshop to render the floor plan, reflected ceiling plan and elevations.
