on the board, inspirations, and ideas
This approx. 2,000 square foot organic coffee retail concept is the latest store for the Lost Bean & Vine brand located at the prominent and newly remodeled Woodbridge Village Shopping Center in Irvine.
The design of this unique and contemporary restaurant was inspired by the open–stage concept of the previous iconic The Renegade Theater–NoHo, a historic building built in 1908.
The interior design focused on the modern European coffee concept with emphasis on intimate and relaxed neighborhood community gathering places. We used warm and simple yet sophisticated details, materials, and finishes.
The design concept reflected the fusion of contemporary Asian design with Southern California’s relaxed beach lifestyle and casual dining experience. The use of simple and colorful finishes and materials were a layer of design expression connecting different parts and the overall theme.
The atmosphere was inspired by layers of warm and cozy design elements with simple and honest materials. Chess Park Tavern is a contemporary American cuisine restaurant & bar located at the center of Glendale Downton district.
