For him, the scenery of sunset with the island was the most important thing, so we designed an open trapezoidal building toward the island.

Jones the Grocer - West Palm Beach

Creating a further twist on the Jones the Grocer design language. Bright and airy, but still able to transform by night to a more intimate venue.

Full glazing on most elevations give fantastic views to the beach side location, the perfect spot for a sundowner. On the café side an impressive overhead structure ‘contains’ the oversized brass dome lights, a concrete counter creates a buzzing atmosphere within the space while light timbers are used throughout. The opposite side of the venue housed the woodfired pizza oven and bar. Similar copper finishes are used throug... More
