Bowery to Williamsburg

Kaper Design; Inspiration March 31, 2015

Name: Bowery to Williamsburg
Location: Melbourne, Australia
Design: Di & Will Keser (Owners)

With the opening of its second location, Bowery to Williamsburg brings even more Bowery subway station-inspired, Americana sandwich shop goodness to Melbourne. This second location found its home directly across the street from their other spot, Hardware Society, in the original Beetroot space.

I love the initiate, shotgun style space. Given the space restrictions, it make sense Bowery to Williamsburg is reusing the communal layout used with previous tenant Brothl. The working kitchen and prep space interact with the dining space and encourage an engaged and interactive dining experience.

The Woodsman Market

Kaper Design; Inspiration February 15, 2013

Name: The Woodsman Market
Location: Portland, OR

Located right next to The Woodsman Tavern,

(remember, the spot with the great kitsch collection of vintage landscapes?)

lies the artisan market and shop of the same owner. With the same attention to detail, the market feels as if it's been there forever.

With warm white subway tiles paired with dark grout, open shelving, a great period tile floor, and rustic pendants, the space feels warm and inviting.

Showcasing local artisan goods, the space is great stop for a quick mid day sandwich or to pick up that one special ingredient to finish a dish. The comfortable and approachable space showcases the local purveyors in a welcoming environment.

'wich

Kaper Design; Inspiration June 18, 2012

Name: 'wich
Location: Hong Kong
Design: Ken Lo(branding/packaging)

There is something beautifully simple when a restaurant concept comes together perfectly. When branding, logo, packaging, and interior all evoke the same message, it allows the guest a full experience.

The tongue in check name, 'wich not only speaks to their namesake concept of sandwiches, but also to the guests ability to chose.

The interior is clean, streamlined and minimalist with pops of red showing up in the seating, light cords, and gallery frames. The slate grey walls and ceiling create a cohesive warmth and allow the eye to focus on the counter and meal preparation.
