Client: Jack Della Femina | Location: West Hollywood, CA | Program: Restaurant | Area: 1,100 SF | Status: Completed 2021
It-makes worked with Bravo Toast’s founders, Nathan Katz and Jack Della Femina, to upgraded from their pop-up locations in NY & LA to a full-fledged restaurant in West Hollywood. The menu features a selection of seasonal toasts, on-tap beverages, and other snacks such as juices, salads, and desserts. Their Green Goddess Avocado Toast is, of course, the star of the menu.
The project was a renovation of an existing beauty salon that included both interior and exterior upgrades. We proposed a large retractable canopy on the front of the building to take advantage of the unusually wide sidewalk for exterior seating. The interior includes a long forward-facing counter area. The ceilings were removed to expose the existing structure to give the space a more rustic feel. The material palette was also selected to evoke a relaxed calm feeling with greenery complimenting warm wood finishes to create a welcoming environment.
