The Larder + The Delta Downtown Phoenix Restaurant Reveal /  by Mackenzie Collier

Spotlight on design! Today we’re showcasing one of our favorite downtown Phoenix restaurants: The Larder + The Delta! For this project, our dear friend Owner and Head Chef Stephen Jones wanted the restaurant to have “an essence of the south with a touch of smoke,” blending the vibe of downtown Phoenix with his personal style. Together, we designed something unique, creative, and innovative to fit him. We are so excited to share this project and ready to take on another food and beverage project. Cheers! 

Check out The Larder + The Delta at 200 W Portland St #101, Phoenix, AZ 85003.
(Pro tip: we recommend getting the crispy pig ear “cheetos” with a summatime sangria!)

PHX Local Love

As designers in downtown Phoenix, we wanted to bring in that urban feeling while keeping it personal. Adding wall murals by local artists created that city flair while keeping the look cohesive. (Murals by Isaac Caruso)

Fresh Perspective

Keeping the space light and airy with crisp white wall and a bright pop of color create a fun and inviting downtown space.

Pops of Color

The yellow Industry West bar stools are a staple at The Larder + The Delta. Having ample amount of bar seating so you can experience the process of watching the chefs create their masterpieces is a must.

Southern Comfort… with a Twist!

Chef Jones’s dishes evolve the rustic and make it new, and we wanted to reflect that in the design. Antique oak church pews paired with concrete tabletops (Porter Barnwood) create a unique look that does just that.

It’s Lit

A modern touch, these beautiful DEZAART wood pendant light fixtures add visual interest and warm lighting in a space with very high ceilings.

Drinks on the Patio

A great space to gather for brunch or an after-work happy hour! We knew that The Larder + The Delta should capitalize on their perfect patio spot. A custom industrial style rail by local vendor 11th Monk3y Industries around the patio makes a nice statement while keeping the space feeling intimate.

Old Town Scottsdale Office Space Reveal /  by Mackenzie Collier

To reveal our latest design, we asked our Senior Interior Designer, Aleah Carr to answer some questions about her design process for this project. Here are her thoughts on the design challenges, inspiration and how to create a “resimercial” space for our client within a church that was built in the 1950’s!

What was the inspiration behind the design?

Inspiration for this space came directly from the state of Arizona. Our Tel-Aviv based client specifically asked for a space that had a residential vibe and felt like home. They wanted to create an environment so nice it would inspire their employees to not only respect the space but, ultimately, get them excited to come to work. We layered a lot of natural materials wood, rattan, and marble then amplified the impact with bold hues and unusual textiles throughout. We also aimed to make a big impact with found objects, vintage mid-century pieces, organic textures and design features created by local artists.

What was your favorite space and why?

My favorite space definitely has to be the entry. The rope feature created by the very talented local textile artist, Taylor Crockett, makes such a huge impact before you even get the chance to see the rest of the space. The idea here was to separate the spaces in an unconventional way without obstructing the view. The bold patterns and hues of the rope feature immediately catch your eye and get you excited for what’s to come on the other side. In addition to the rope feature, we created small seating areas within the entry that truly give you a residential vibe which was the exact direction we were heading. I’m dying to have that leather chair in my own home now!

What was the greatest design challenge?

The biggest challenge at hand was definitely the mixing of commercial and residential design. How do we create a space that has a residential aesthetic without sacrificing the quality and durability necessary for a successful commercial setting? We found a perfect balance between the two by finding some pieces that were commercially rated but had a residential look. We also opted for more durable fabrics like leather and performance velvet rather than going with textiles that wouldn’t stand the test of time. It was definitely difficult to curate, but I think we were successful.

Why did you choose to incorporate vintage pieces into this workspace?

Have you ever seen a piece of furniture and just knew it was the one? Well that’s how I feel about MOST vintage furniture and we were lucky that our client totally agreed. Not only is it a unique way to incorporate sustainability (reduce-reuse-recycle), but the quality of vintage furniture is so much better than that of newer items making it last so much longer so you can share it with the world for a long time. I hold a very special place in my heart for vintage pieces, especially after having learned so much about them in college.

What does the term “resimercial“ mean?

Resimercial is a totally new term in the design world. It means to blend two opposite design appoaches— commercial and residential. In my mind, resimercial design is where the two worlds meet to create workspaces that are homey and cozy but still functional and professional. It’s a more casual way to work that also increases productivity and, in the long run, gets people excited to come to work. You do spend more time at work than at home, so why not make it a space that you are thrilled to be in?

Earlier this year, we debuted our new Room Service by MCI design package, kicking it off with our friend, Health + Life Coach Joanne Encarnacion, in her beautiful Eichler home. Fast-forward to now, and we’re super excited to share her home is featured on Dwell.com!

“Touches of marble, rattan, greens, blues, and mustard permeate the furnishings in a palette that’s bold but maintains a sense of calm. The goal was to create a space that was beautifully designed, but didn’t feel like a showroom.”
— Jen Woo, Dwell Magazine
