When the DC Jaleo needed a much needed renovation, Think Food Group and Jose Andres brought Gronning Architects to the team for the project. Designed by Spanish Architect Juli Capella, Gronning Architects, provided Construction Document and Administration. This full renovation was completed in just 4 weeks and included shipping materials and furniture from Spain. Maizel Construction was the general contractor for the project.

Originally a boxing gym, this existing 5800 SF structure was converted into a 3 level restaurant with 4 bars and an outdoor cooking area located on a roof deck. This project required a complete renovation including new utilities and major structural modifications. The front facade was entirely redesigned, The lower portion of the facade is reminiscent of its past historic character. The copper clad facade and character of the second floor is intentionally in contrast to the first. Custom bar lights were designed and fabricated by Gronning Design + Manufacturing.

Veloce means ‘fast’ in Italian. When Pizza Paradiso owner Ruth Gresser decided to expand and open a quick-serve pizza concept, she hired Gronning Architects to design a space that expedites the pizza process, from order to customer, with a target time of 5 minutes.
Bright yellow and white counters and mild steel paneling surround the central open kitchen and showcase the tiled Mazza Forni pizza oven. The 1,400 sqft space features custom tables and millwork with seating for 35, including an exterior patio.

Ghibellina is a 9,000SF italian restaurant on 3 floors. This project included design through construction and included underpinning, excavation and additons to the historic building. The design utilizes existing exposed brick and joists as a background for steel and industrial elemets. Existing large wood beams were repurposed as light fixtures. The design also includes a steel clad island bar at the front of the space. The basement and second floor will be phased in at a later date.
