Grupo7 Architecture + Interiors

It may look quick and easy, but even a new 'Pop-up' tenancy for Theater Alliance took months of research, tours, planning, and coordination. We're happy to have helped them land a temporary home, and are excited for the local premiere of "Covenant" later this month. https://wapo.st/3NgTRxF

#TBT, literally: In Construction today->Final Rendering->Design Rendering. A collage back through time documenting Elena James, a new restaurant by Colin MCClimans and Danilo Simic coming this summer to Chevy Chase Lake. Construction by SCK CONTRACTORS LLC, and excellent support from Bozzuto throughout. Singer EVI with kitchen design for the win.

We are helping Rhizome DC, a very special arts group, with their new permanent home. It's a joy to work with such a unique organization that shapes our local culture. Many thanks to D. Wright Sigmund for introducing Grupo7 Architecture + Interiors to Rhizome DC. And thanks to Chris Richards for such a sincere and laudatory article. https://wapo.st/4aqHN5M

From Concept and Store #1 to Store #68, with more to come, Grupo7 Architecture + Interiors has designed each and every location of mezeh mediterranean grill. Every once in a while we have to google up some images to remind ourselves of their widely different and varied locations.

This custom residence in downtown DC was quite the slender adventure - only 12 feet site width to work with. You'd never know it on the interior. Those existing 2x4 structural party walls resting on packed earth were also an...interesting...type of codependency to remedy.

Albi receives another great recogniztion. The New York Times just included Albi on its list of the top 25 restaurants in Washington, DC. We are immensely proud of the work we did with chef Michael Rafidi and his team.

We loved working on this special project. Sometimes those beautifully crafted, thoughtfully created, meticulously managed spaces take extra time and care - the usual KPI's don't apply. But the resulting place becomes a truly memorable experience in the city. Take a moment and sneak down the alley to TheLittleGrand; you'll enjoy what they're up to.

Grupo7 has been enjoying the early design work for Andy Cabral from Vigario Management on a new commercial retail building in Lake Ridge, Virginia. How do we combine the friendly, walkable outdoor spaces and amenities with restaurant seating, a Dunkin' drive-thru and retail imperatives? We can do this. Kudos to Diana Milian, P.E. for complex traffic and site work, and Josh Weiner, Retail Real Estate Advisor who will undoubtedly land the right tenant mix. Noah Klein providing expert guidance.

Congratulations to chef Nicholas Stefanelli and Creative Food Group on the opening of the absolutely spectacular Philotimo. Superior work by Winmar Construction, YuiDesign, GHT Limited to bring this complex project to life. Photography: José Tohá
