SPRING
Marble, brass, fountains and pepper trees create an elegant French setting in downtown L.A.

Located at the base of the historic Douglas Building in downtown Los Angeles, Spring is the second project from Tony Esnault and Yasmin Sarmadi of Church and State fame. Jonathan Gold has called Spring “one of the loveliest restaurant spaces in Los Angeles.” The courtyard restaurant and bar sit under an original glass atrium and a pair of pendant draped pepper trees. This space, as well as the intimate lounge and private dining room, are dotted with marble, iron and antique art. It's a welcome retreat for downtown office dwellers and residents.

Project Size: 7,213 SF
Project Location: Downtown Los Angeles, CA

“ And then you emerge into one of the loveliest restaurant spaces in Los Angeles: an old courtyard, dotted with pepper trees and high-end lawn furniture, a fountain and twinkling tiny lights, under a century-old canopy of cast iron and glass. You might expect to run into the occasional space like this in Paris or Prague.”
