Project Intent StatementThe owners of celebrated New York based Balvanera Restaurant, whose cuisine and spirit are derived from Buenos Aires, expanded its legacy with a second location in the Strip District neighborhood of the City of Pittsburgh. Our firm was brought on to transform 4,300 SF on the ground floor of an existing 4-story 1920s warehouse structure into a vibrant and intimate dining destination. The design challenge was to layer new features within the existing structure, celebrating its original details, and to accommodate the desired program into a uniquely shaped footprint with extremely high ceilings.
