South Beverly Grill
Project Desciption
The Hillstone Restaurant Group is a successful, family-run business specializing in high-end restaurants including Houston’s, Bandera, Café R+D and others across the country. For their first restaurant in Beverly Hills, they chose a location in an existing 1940’s era structure on a centrally located, pedestrian-oriented street.
The interior of the restaurant is defined by reclaimed wood ceiling beams along with a palette of rich, dark materials including walnut and cherry casework and chocolate stained woodblock flooring all accented by the natural light filtering through the front façade. The result is a contemporary spin on an old-fashioned dining club, an apt choice for its location at the edge of Beverly Hill’s Golden Tringle.
The design of the street façade presents an understated composition of an elegantly scaled exterior canopy, a custom-designed steel window system, and brick planter boxes to create a graceful experience for both the pedestrian and the dining patron. The custom black steel framed window system provides a secondary level of articulation to further address the pedestrian scale of the façade.
