Alto Palato (Pazzia)

Los Angeles, CA

Client: Danilo Terribili

TWG provided the architectural design and kitchen equipment coordination services for the expansion (completed in 1994) of this once-trendy-now-closed restaurant along North LaCienega Boulevard. The design features an open plan, highlighting the 25' high ceiling, and includes ceiling elements which differentiate and humanize the scale of the various portions of the restaurant. The split-level space includes a bar on the lower level and open Italian wood-burning pizza oven on the upper. Permitting was particularly difficult due to extremely limited parking available on-site.
