Project Details

Location: Oakland, CA

The Grégoire Piedmont project has much more workable space than Grégoire Berkeley, allowing for larger Dining and Kitchen areas.

  • Levitch creates two Kitchens, an open one at the front and a catering Kitchen at the back. This enables parallel food preparation for special events to take place concurrently with the restaurant.
  • The tiled walls and wood counter evoke the original Grégoire restaurant in this new space.
  • The building that houses Grégoire Piedmont was originally designed by Julia Morgan and is a designated historic landmark. The space requires A Historic Design Review to add the new rear access door. The new door made it possible to separate service deliveries from the customer entrance.
  • Levitch delights with recurring clients as some design flares can continue throughout the spaces.
