A Temple to Good Taste: A design team embraces a building's Colonial roots while infusing the restaurant inside with a new flavor of tempered minimalism.
If A carpaccio of octopus, tender and razor thin, with notes of mellow olive oil, tangy citrus, and smoky piment'n, could be translated into restaurant design, you might end up with the Workshop Kitchen + Bar in Palm Springs, California. Though the interior bears little resemblance to the translucency and lightness of the octopus, this starter, often topping the restaurant's menu, shares an essential approach with the architecture.
Like that dish, the design is precisely executed, relying on a few well-chosen ingredients, harmoniously combined, with each one singing through. Both the architectural and culinary styles temper minimalism with deep, familiar tones. And much the way tiny florets of pickled cauliflower accent the carpaccio, bringing out underlying flavors, the lighting, designed by .PSLAB, plays against SOMA's industrial-chic interior and the historic El Paseo Building housing it.
