Doug Washington, acclaimed for his artistry in creating the distinguishing looks for The Lark, Les Marchands and Santa Barbara Wine Collective, designed the space. Local artist Sally Terrell was responsible for merchandising and interior design. Here, the bakery allows visitors to observe the chefs at work as they hand-shape baguettes, breads and pastries behind oversized glass walls. The bakers’ ovens and state-of-the-art equipment are exposed to the public, integrating modern machinery into the original architecture of the notable warehouse. The entrance to the bakery is accessed through a shared door of the Santa Barbara Wine Collective. The airy design fills the room with streaming light throughout the day, enhanced by vintage light fixtures that illuminate the kitchen.
