Clean Slate

This brick-and-mortar location for a weekly meal service provider features a commercial kitchen and dining room set in the Ashton Building, located in the Millwork Commons neighborhood. Just as their meals are crafted with minimally processed, wholesome ingredients, the new design embraces raw, natural materials. Plywood assemblies and plants complement the existing rich interior of exposed timber columns, beams, wood floors, and concrete flooring. Lush greenery adds a lively and refreshing element, reflecting the energy and freshness they bring to every dish.
