Kitchen Zinc

This historic space, originally a fur vault, is built of brick and concrete. A new menu concept, different seating arrangements and a new enlarged bar required a new design for the sister restaurant to Zinc Restaurant.

The design is loyal to the original architectural features, which include exposed brick walls, an iron column, and gilded carved cornice. A new bar and suspended blown-glass fixtures re-energize the space, while the neutral color scheme changes the atmosphere to one of sophisticated casual dining. The new menu of artisan pizza and other delectables, all made with local ingredients, is drawn on a large chalkboard over the pass-through to the kitchen. Photograph prints of farm and market wares are suspended in the original niches.
