Nino’s Bakery
Washington, DC
Nino’s Bakery boasts a bright and cheery interior with traditional white-trimmed millwork and industrial style pendant lights juxtaposed with an exposed ceiling, sleek black granite tops, and a “weathered” concrete floor finish. Half of the bakery is dedicated to the kitchen area—as all pastries and food items are made onsite daily from scratch and by hand—with the other half offering display cases and a few café tables and chairs perfect for relaxing and people watching.
Nino’s is located off the main lobby of a newly renovated class A office building and adjacent to its communal lounge. Inviting floor-to-ceiling windows and direct access to the street and lobby were important for Rinaldi to establish a true connection with the building’s tenants.
