Orfano is a modern reinterpretation of a classic Italian American restaurant

Project Overview

`Orfano` stands as a classic Italian-American restaurant launched in 2019 by Big Heart Hospitaity from Chef Tiffani, situated in Fenway, Boston. During my time at Sousa Design Architects, my role as an Architectural Designer involved engaging in the creation and initiation of the interior designs, with the primary intention of improving the overall customer experience. The design objective for this 96-seat dining place was to exude a feeling of comfort and appeal to its guests.
