PROJECT:GIN & JAQ

CLIENT PROFILE

An adventurous couple aim to create a restaurant and bar out of a San Franciscan residential home that exposes both their culinary and artistic talents. A key design element they want to incorporate is the city of Paris, where both Genevieve & Jaqueline earned their masters at Le Cordon Bleu and where they fell in love. After eight years of working under top chiefs, the Claires decided to open a restaurant that reflects their creative cuisine talents and the place they first combined forces through food and decor.

Together The Signet Group & the Claires developed Gin & Jaq; a restaurant and bar where sumptuous velvet upholstery collides with flower-adorned crafted cocktails. The bar bites fuse Genevieve’s laid-back California foundation with Jacqueline’s flirtatious Parisian flare. Conveniently the restaurant is located in Noe Valley, just a swift bike ride from their home in the Castro. Their design goals include an outdoor patio, dog run, private dining, and a full bar with tapas-style dishes. As there are always performers and music in the streets of Paris, a Llouve-like stage with glass ceilings will be incorporated into the design, fully equipped with dressing rooms and a private entrance. Avantgarde… indeed.
