A Modern Grange Opens in Healdsburg, Kombucha Bar Included - Remodelista
I’ve been hearing talk of Shed–downtown Healdsburg’s just-opened culinary emporium–for a while now. Designed by Jensen Architects, Shed is built on the site of an old appliance store; Lipton and Daniels tried to keep the original building, but ultimately had to go with something new. Photography by Sarah Lonsdale, except where noted. Photograph via Jensen Architects. SF-based Jensen Architects designed the transparent steel-clad building, which is divided into three retail sections for cooking, eating, and gardening with a cafe and coffee bar anchoring the middle of the space. The demonstration table (designed by Deep Craft) at the front of the building is made from a salvaged slab of sycamore that sits atop two stacks of wood. Replacement wood will be brought in to dry beneath the sycamore, creating a continual work in progress. Scott Constable of Deep Craft designed the custom bar stools. Kitchen goods on sale including wares by local potter Kelley Farley. Daniels was inspired by the kitchen designs of Plain English and designed something similar for the cafe. Fresh local produce on display including vegetables from the couple’s own farm. The custom wood tables are made by Scott Constable of Deep Craft and can be custom ordered. A selection of traditional handmade brushes for housekeeping. The farm section offers garden tools, supplies, as well as local seeds. The fermentation bar serves kombucha on tap (possibly a first) as well as local beer and wine. Constable designed the long community table in the cafe area from two planks of ash. Upstairs on the second floor is a large open hall devoted to community events, guest speakers, and gatherings centered on food crafts, gardening, farming, and sustainable living.
