Concept statement

A CULTURE OF CREATIVITY

Key Words:

Bold, Creativity, Freedom, Diverse, Urban, Historic

Inspired by the neighborhood of EaDo , as well as Post Modernism and
Memphis Style Design, Café Delano will encourage the sense of
creativity, boldness, and freedom. Using these design styles as
stepping points, we will design a space that energizes the client
and employee. With a cyclical menu based on the chef’s creativity
and local ingredients, the design of the space will both enhance the
boldness of the chef and reflect the local talent.
