Bar Agricole

Bar Agricole embodies the urban and the agricultural in its seasonal fare, biodynamic wine, and artisanal spirits. The space balances the rough and the refined to create a sensually rich dining experience.

Using a collaborative design-and-build process, the architect and owner worked with local artisans and fabricators to highlight individual craft and experiment with new materials. The long, tall warehouse interior is given intimacy by a wooden “hull” crafted of reclaimed whiskey barrel oak. Delicate glass sculptures descend from skylights, distributing daylight throughout the space. Two bars, made of board-formed concrete and old barn beams, anchor both space and activity. Sinuous banquettes are formed from a one-inch thick Ductal concrete ribbon. The dining room connects to an outdoor courtyard and garden where herbs are homegrown for artisanal cocktails.

Bar Agricole has achieved LEED Platinum certification.
