Local architecture studio Bench Architecture has topped a Brooklyn brewery with a pizzeria and bar outfitted in a "colourfully tactile palette" including a wall of aqua-blue tile.
In East Williamsburg, Lala's Brooklyn Apizza shop is located above the Grimm Artisanal Ales brewery ? a converted automobile shop that opened in 2018 and was also designed by Brooklyn-based Bench Architecture.
Local studio Bench Architecture has topped a brewery with a pizzeria in Brooklyn
The second-floor pizzeria consists of a large open space flanked on either side by a pizza kitchen and terracotta-clad bar, while a series of bi-fold doors lead out onto a rooftop terrace.
"A colourfully tactile palette was used to frame two poles of the space," the studio said. The space sits on top of a converted autobody shop
At one end of the interior space, a pizza oven is surrounded by light green Portuguese tile, while a white mosaic tile was used to clad the oven itself.  A bar counter topped with moonstone and wrapped in corrugated wood frames the oven, with a small service window lined with the same moonstone placed to the side.
Across the space, a service bar was wrapped in fluted terracotta tiles and topped with a dark grey Mexican Cantera stone counter.
The studio organized the interior into "nodes"
A wall of aqua-blue concrete tile sits behind the bar, extending along the space and outside onto the terrace.
