Medi, a new Arlington, Virginia restaurant, pays homage to the Mediterranean and the clients’ Greek background. Through the usage of white stucco, marble, and an eye-catching blue entry door, guests get to feel like they are in a Greek coastal town while enjoying gyros, pitas, and other Mediterranean fare. The modern and fresh 40-seat quick service restaurant further captures the old world charm of this area through black and white photography and vintage pulleys referencing the Mediterranean coast. With a small floor plan, GrizForm Design Architects, incorporated a color palette of whites and blues to help open up the space. Oak wood walls and ceiling beams also add a bit of warmth to the aged building while an unfinished concrete floor helps balance the rustic yet contemporary look.
