Dogmatic Restaurant Storefront and Interior by EFGH Architects
The design of the 600 sq ft interior and storefront for the new flagship restaurant Dogmatic Gourmet Sausage System on Union Square, is based on the aesthetics of the butchery, which becomes the generative approach to the project. A 14’x4’ communal butcher-block table is the centerpiece for the space, and incorporates retractable cantilevered seating to avoid any freestanding furniture. A raised built-in banquet on the west wall overlooks the restaurant while providing the base for the Sausage Wall-of Fame. A mural describing the Dogmatic story is baked onto the ceramic tiles using a transfer toner technique. The 11’ tall vertical glass menu board screens a portion of the open kitchen, while hanging off a steel armature from the restaurant hood. Meat hooks support the lighting cylinders on tracks. The custom steel designed storefront doors pivot to allow for maximum openness and connection to the outside.

great idea with the sliding seats, although the counter/ordering area looks to be pretty cramped and would be a nightmare when the place is busy

That would be a problem elsewhere, but ‘cramped’ in London? That’s something nobody seem to bother or care about.

i stumbled upon this place a month or so ago. the food was average, nothing to shout about, but i really enjoyed the space. the sliding seats are really useful and the butcher aesthetic is clean and fresh.
the order area isn’t as cramped as it looks. there is enough space for a line to form down the restaurant without people getting annoyed, and they have sit and either call your number or bring you your food.

Cool and eficient. This place needs to be crowded to work.

The major design flaw — i’ve eaten here several times and I love the food — is the seating along with wall. Those little armrests are too small to balance the round metal trays on and they create an awkward and uncomfortable posture while eating. They should revise it to be table tops that come from underneath and fold over sideways on a hinge in front of the diner.
