French Bethlehem

Inspired by the historic Hill to Hill Bridge of Bethlehem from the 1920s, original blueprints were meticulously extracted and transformed into perforated panels. These panels now serve as a unique feature within the load-bearing wall, elegantly dividing the Dining Room from the Bar while maintaining a sense of connection.

The bridge's intricate trusses, dimensions, and original notes have been intricately integrated into the perforated design, creating a visual and conceptual link between the two spaces of the restaurant. This thoughtful incorporation not only provides privacy where needed but also celebrates the architectural heritage of Bethlehem, offering diners a captivating and historically inspired dining experience.
