The Kiva
Generous openings cut into the existing masonry walls reinvigorate this tired building by bringing daylight inside, granting views of the merchandise from outside, and revitalizing the street corner. A full commercial kitchen and deli are miraculously inserted into the compact store, where specialty foods are prepared and served. A sheltered outdoor dining patio and a deli walk-up window allow customers to enjoy food and coffee in an outdoor urban setting. These changes re-introduce this familiar downtown business as a unique local urban market and deli, offering quality groceries, health products, and prepared foods.
