Program: Two-level restaurant with a bar, kitchen, and seating on the main floor, plus a mezzanine with additional seating fit into a former department store built in 1947.

Design concept and solution: To remain true to the former department store's late International Style roots while transforming it into an upscale eatery.

The ground floor, with its open plan and two-story-high ceiling marked by a curvilinear floating soffit, already felt natural as a restaurant, and Janis Leonard updated it by adding a modern kitchen. On the mezzanine, Leonard gutted the changing rooms to create extra seating and restrooms. She also carefully rehabilitated sections of the interior that had been damaged—during the store's stint as a fire-testing facility for the City of Phoenix—with custom-built bricks to supplement the originals.
