Restaurant architecture is no stranger to the influence of trends.
The latest theme to show up in the design of dining destinations
is to create restaurants that are meant to evoke the feeling of
a home. Restaurants including Dupont hotspot Mari Vanna go
beyond abstract ideas of “homey” or “comfortable” to a more
literal interpretation of someone’s house, or a particular room within it.

“I think a little bit of it is that they want to create this nostalgic
feeling for themselves or for the guest, to evoke something that

was part of them growing up,” said Allison Cooke, senior designer
at CORE DC, which handles many of the city’s restaurants.”
