Located in Cincinnati, this current project will turn an early 20th century Spanish Revival detached carriage house/garage into an entertainment kitchen. The inspiration for this centered around the parrilla (origin: Argentina); a cooking grill whose grilling surface is raised or lowered over an open fire. Much of the design took cues from Argentinian and Latin architecture, culture and art.
The finished project includes a new oak bead board ceiling, oak cabinetry and tile flooring. The original glazed and badly weathered interior brick wall surfaces were sandblasted and painted. The original carriage doors were stripped, painted and re-glazed. They sit open in good weather to expand the entertainment space into the adjacent motor court. New painted electrical conduit echoes the black finishes of lighting fixtures and fans.
