fleetwood / fernandez architects designs yellow fever eatery in LA

‘yellow fever’ is a mash-up style eatery that combines american and asian cuisine and culture.

run by a husband and wife duo, the los angeles-based restaurant offers delicious, healthy plates within its casual, urban dining space.

most of the budget, which wasn’t huge to begin with, was devoted to reviving the kitchen. having previously functioned as a halal meat market, most of the infrastructure was there, but in serious need of repair. thus, the design needed to be economical, and easy enough to build without a large team.

another husband and wife team, fleetwood / fernandez architects, was commissioned to do the interior. their work utilizes readily available industrial materials with accents of expressive details like handmade wood furniture and ceramic tiling. fleetwood / fernandez architects also created a wall using hundreds of melamine bowls, a feature that quickly became ‘yellow fever’s’ main focal point.

metal wire seating, bare bulb pendant lighting, exposed ductwork, and a bright palette come together to make the space feel unique and comfortable. in addition, the restaurant features an original piece by designers koznydan, as well as chairs by bend goods.
