R+D Kitchen is a prototype café restaurant.
The project was an AIA Restaurant Award
Finalist in 2008. The project complies with
Santa Monica’s green building design re-
quirements, which incorporate USGBC’s
LEED® 2.2 criteria for sustainable design.
Great care was taken to specify sustain-
able materials, energy efficient systems,

and locally fabricated products. The pro-
ject consisted of the seismic renovation
of an existing shell into a lively dining
room and bar. The layout emphasizes
a connection between the indoor and
outdoor environments with a façade
that opens fully to the street to create
an alfresco dining experience.
