The Red Hen > The main focus of the Red Hen—
the Italian newcomer in burgeoning Bloomingdale—
was to make it a “comfortable neighborhood restaurant,
warm with natural light that filled the corner space
from two sides of bay windows,” says Lauren Winter,
studio head of Edit Lab, the hospitality arm of
local brokerage, design, branding, marketing, and
development company Streetsense. Exposed brick and
rich woods—painted, aged, scraped, and sometimes
beaten with chains—add to the cozy appeal, like a
slatted, sound-absorbing ceiling installation. “The
wood-burning grill was a huge inspiration. We already
knew that we wanted the kitchen to be a part of the
restaurant; what we couldn’t have imagined were all of
the wonderful smells of the grill that would perfume
it throughout the night. It became the heart of the
space, introduced through piles of wood lining the
entryway and hanging over the kitchen hood,” Winter
explains. Celebrating both its Italian origins and use
of American ingredients, the restaurant embraces
modern, tactile materials—an embossed belting
leather bar, grooves in tables, and heavy, unfinished,
ready-to-patina hardwood furniture “used to anchor
the diners in an open space with high ceilings.”

Matchbox 14th Street > Wood-fired

pizzas are the crux of mini-restaurant chain
Matchbox. For its latest outpost, Matchbox 14th
Street in the U Street Corridor, David ShoveBrown, partner at local firm Studio3877, says
the “goal was to simply take the brand and
push it further, making this restaurant fit into
the family while simultaneously offering a
unique experience.” One way of accomplishing
this is through distinct seating areas like the
floating “boxes.” Notes Shove-Brown, “You are
suspended above the bar looking out over the
people below. It is the true VIP experience. The
community table provides a focal point for the
first floor. The lighting and seating all draw
from the rustic yet warm feel of the Matchbox
brand.” The materials Studio3877 went with are
not intended for gawking, but interacting. “Steel,
brick, and wood all show their beauty, even with
imperfection. The steel and brick speak to the
rich history of the building, while the reclaimed
wood planks and timbers speak to strength,
reuse, and natural beauty,” says Shove-Brown.
“They are an expression of simplicity.”
