Border Grill
Santa Monica, California
For our July exhibition we have decided to visit a Schweitzer BIM designed restaurant each week.
The designs are colorful and happy ... the food excellent. Just what we need after the long dark Scandinavian winter.
Our first visit is the Border Grill Restaurant in Santa Monica, California....... we have been dreaming about the delicious Mexican food by partner chefs Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger ...

The entrance.
Inspired by the deeply rooted tradition of mural art in Central and South America and a desire to create a space compatible with the eclectic food, the restaurant was transformed with shapes and textures onto which vibrant colors were layered. The glass storefront opens the restaurant to views of these elements from the street.
