Pretty Little Green Things

I’ve been writing about San Francisco quite a lot lately so forgive me if I sound like a walking advertisement.  No proceeds have been made off these blog posts and I’m not planning on moving there either.  San Francisco just seems to have some really awesome eco-friendly things going on around town.

Today’s San Francisco based project is Bar Agricole, a refurbished restaurant in a 1912 industrial corrugated zinc warehouse.  Designed by Aidlin Darling Design, this spot is just about as green as it gets.  With a LEED Platinum certification application underway, you can be sure that as much thought went into the design of the restaurant as it did the sustainability.  From wood reclaimed from whiskey barrels, concrete throughout and glass sculptures that double as both amazing works of art and skylights, not to mention delicious hand-grown food, Bar Agricole has really set a new standard of green dining.  I’m not actually going to write much about the design of the restaurant because I just don’t think my words could do this stunning property justice.  But if you want to know more, Interior Design wrote a fantastic article that you should check out.
