A Green Scene at Founding Farmers Founding Farmers, a restaurant at 1924 Pennsylvania Ave. NW that opened five months ago, takes green design to a new level. The restaurant not only ladles out organic oatmeal, it surrounds customers with Earth-friendly interiors combining recycled whitewashed barn wood and high-efficiency lighting. The restaurant has a style you might call modern barn. The focus is on energy efficiency and extensive recycling, as well as a connection to nature. The interior architecture and decor by Core Architecture + Design incorporate wood flooring reclaimed from a Georgia textile mill, wall coverings made partially of post-consumer waste and tables and chairs crafted by Dunbar out of locally sourced walnut. "The reclaimed beam framework creates a grid that is something like the structure of a barn," says Peter Hapstak, a founding partner of Core. click here to view the full article. |
