Grégoire Piedmont returned to Levitch to design and build their restaurant in a historic Julia Morgan building.
The Grégoire Piedmont project has much more workable space than Grégoire Berkeley, allowing for larger Dining and Kitchen areas.
Levitch created two Kitchens, an open one at the front and a catering Kitchen at the back. This enables food preparation for special events to take place concurrently with restaurant service.
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 required 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 in recurring clients as some design flares can continue throughout the spaces.
