The building from the street, lit from inside.

The room from the entrance: host stand, booths and the bar, under the open roof.

A steel flat file and a bank of catalogue drawers, set on a rug by the door.

Red stools the length of the room, with the steel roof left open above.

A tree and birch trunks at the end of the bar, the stools running away from them.

Steel rod crossed over the panelled bar front, with a footrail beneath.

Banquettes along the wall, under pendants hung from the structure.

Bottles racked in a lattice set into the dining room rather than kept out of sight.

Tall tables and chairs against the wine store's glazed front.

The kitchen open to the floor, behind a timber counter.

A timber-clad room within the room, glazed so it keeps a view of the floor.

A heavy door on strap hinges in a timber-clad wall, the dining room beyond.

A banquette along the brick wall, below the industrial glazing and a ceiling fan.

A passage between timber-clad walls, ending at the restroom door.

Bottles on a timber shelf against the old brick.

Lights hung among the ductwork, with the steel windows beyond.

Trusses and ductwork left exactly as found.

Steel trusses under the roof deck, lit by a window in the gable.

A fitting strung between the rafters, the one piece of ornament overhead.
