Global architecture firm Streetsense approached the design of Bar Spero, a Spanish seafood restaurant in Washington, D.C., by looking toward its chef, Johnny Spero. His playful character lands in contrast to his cuisine’s seriousness. The duality resulted in an interior that on one hand is clean and warm and on the other is boisterous and intriguing.
The designers started with the neutral base and color scheme, using angled chevron flooring from Havwoods, toffee leather, moments of calming blue touches via velvet booths and drapes. Around the bar, hand-painted glazes on custom Red Rock Tileworks’s hex tiles clad the bar, creating a clean, crisp feel.
