Restaurant Design: Frida

Los Angeles
 

Located at the new shopping center, Americana at Brand, in Glendale, California, the owners of Frida wanted an authentic Mexican restaurant with a warm and elegant environment, much like their previous four upscale locations but with some added modernity. Along with the interior designer team, Chipman Design Architecture helped make the 5,824 sq. ft. restaurant stand out with:

• Curved wall feature with painted mural at bar area in the famous Mexican surrealist painter, “Frida Kahlo” style.
• Illuminated glass brick bar.
• Used a Nana Wall System (movable, glass curtainwall) between the patio and the dining area to open up the entire restaurant.
• Large, floor-to-ceiling column light fixtures.

Chipman Design provided due diligence, schematic design, design development, construction documents and construction administration services throughout the project duration.
