Inspired by the childhood memories and experiences of its owner, who grew up in the south of France, the goal was a restaurant that exudes the rustic charm and flavor of ‘cuisine du soleil’. Kitchen and interior design combine to create an inviting atmosphere that feels personal and familial. Visitors are transported to a place of warm endless summers, magical skies, and long gatherings with good friends around a table full of delicious food.

CHALLENGES: One of the primary challenges was how to design and create a physical space as a reflection of personal memories and experiences from a place and culture thousands of miles away. Similarly, how can architecture and design translate the arts heritage of the south of France to a space located in the American Southwest.
