Bobo's Hamburger

This neighborhood fast food restaurant updates the iconic forms and playful imagery of its Googie-era progenitors. The strong, horizontal plane of the roof floats on slender, eccentrically placed columns and inclined glass walls. Inside and out, we employed a simple material palette appropriate to the roadside vernacular- stainless steel for work areas, wood slat benches for seating, CMU block and corrugated metal for the building shell. The composition is capped with an oversize chimney element wrapped in a stainless steel scrim.
