The project called for the design of a
sustainable, fast-food, health bar located along
Brickell Avenue in Miami, Florida. The bar serves
two organic items, yucca bread and natural fruit
drinks, meant to be purchased and easily eaten on
the go.

In keeping with the business philosophy of the
company, the project utilizes only recyclable
materials- predominantly locally reclaimed
cypress wood- for the design of the shop. The
interior is conceived as a continuous,
undulating, wood surface that not only conceals
existing mechanical systems but also accommodates
the principal seating for the space.

The wooden liner is set behind an existing,
two-storey, glass facade and is designed to
engage the passerby. The ceiling and walls of the
space are slightly canted towards the rear a
perspectival manipulation meant to elongate the
room and heighten the theatricality of the space
by focusing the attention of the viewer on the
serving window.
