California Hut pizzeria
Manhattan, New York
1993

This small pizzeria occupies a store front rectangle of approximately 400 square feet. The design emphasizes the importance of the oven giving it a sculptural free standing presence. It is diagonally intersected by the bar counter which clearly separates the service and the served zones. Continuous operable french doors intend to maximize the relationship between the inside and the outside. At the end of the bar, there is a mirrored wall, which multiplies the visual depth of this otherwise very small place.
