This
gourmet grocery store and deli occupies an industrial loft space in the Bucktown
neighborhood of Chicago. Thoughtfully placed lighting and careful space
planning converted what once was a dark, narrow warehouse into a bright, hip
neighborhood store that offers everything from olives by the pound to designer
barbeque sauces.
The concrete floors and the 12-foot-high
exposed wood ceiling hint at the space’s history as a warehouse. The
checkout area, whose surface is made to look like a bright butcher block countertop,
is consistent with the gourmet feel of the store.
