The design for Marília Fit aims to grant healthy meals, from breakfast to dinner, in a cozy, and refreshing space, making people feel better. The walls are filled by a structure of rectagular wooden boxes, in diferente sizes and permeabilities, which are responsible to compose the interior of the store, in a clear reference to the public market and all it’s smells and flavours. The same concept is verified on the facade in yellow aluminum. The chosen color highlights the store, strengthening the relation with the sun, the summer, and the related joy inherent to it. The yellow allied with the green from the back wall, as well as the blue from the couch and red from the chairs denotes a solid relation to nature. The italian earthen toned floor gives the feeling of cozyness and relaxation. The lighting, designed by the architect, plays with arrays of light in various directions. Another highlight are the Gerbar brass fans, which are very effective with minimum echoing. The dark gray and black chosen for some walls endorse the more vivid colors as well as the wood. Marília Fit is a space created as an invitation for a high class experience at eating and welfare.
By the time restaurateur Julian Hagood fell in love with this circa 1910 corner store in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood, the 50-year old refrigerator had rotted its way through the floor and pigeons had come to roost in the rafters. Keeping the name and imagining a more illustrious past for the building and space, a new, casual yet sophisticated neighborhood hotspot was born. The building was striped back to its studs and roof joists, and completely reworked. The building was reborn with a ground floor restaurant and bar, and an upstairs apartment. The restaurant is outfitted with vintage furnishings and fixtures. The dining room features a bespoke L-shaped counter, with handcrafted tables and benches. A salvaged 1950s refrigerator takes pride of place in the chef-grade kitchen, while a Victorian-era tobacconist’s case is used for storage and vintage Sheffield lighting fixtures illuminate the dining room. The 865-square-foot upstairs apartment includes a room the owner rents out via Airbnb.
