Dandelion Chocolate Factory

2020 Interior Architecture Citation Award

Dandelion desired an understated design that evoked a warmth and genuineness, with a crafted and exquisite atmosphere where customers can experience the making of chocolate, first hand. The project involved seamless insertion into a 107 year old warehouse, while maintaining the structure’s integrity and highlighting the abundant, delightful natural light.

The jury was wowed by the deft choreography of the visitor experience, and carefully developed vocabulary of materials and details.
