La Goulue

La Goulue When presented with the almost insurmountable task of re-creating the world renowned La Goulue a few blocks south, the Parkbench Architects team was more than up to the challenge. With half the original existing millwork panels stored in upstate New York for years, the puzzle began when it came time to reinstall them in an entirely new Upper East Side location. From the stained-glass skylight in the dining room to the new state of the art kitchen downstairs, this is one of Parkbench Architect’s most complex and detail-oriented projects. It was truly a humbling and extraordinary experience to have been the architecture team to help open the doors again to this iconic staple.

Baba Cool’s new Williamsburg spot offers a full dining room, and cozy bar with a miami-esque outdoor penanque court (think french bocce ball) available for everyday hangouts and private events. Parkbench Architects was involved from start to finish on this project from the addtition of the full kitchen, to the storefront re-design, to the playful and bright interior finishes. We are so pleased to have contributed in bringing the vibe of this Fort Green staple to Williamsburg in this fun, stay-all-day space.
