Stanton Architecture guided the renovation of Petit Marlowe, transforming a tired cafe space into a Parisian-inspired, “Rive Gauche” wine and oyster bistro. The redesign includes a bar fashioned from an antique bookcase, streetlamp globe lighting, powder pink leather banquettes, and accessibility upgrades throughout. In the spirit of Paris’s Left Bank, this bohemian space is both timely and timeless.
