BAR GEMINI

Set in San Francisco’s Mission District, Bar Gemini transforms a simple concrete shell into something layered, tactile, and intimate. The vision blended notes of Italian café culture with a distinctly Northern California point of view — elevated but approachable, with richness and warmth that invite people to settle in.

Deep green plaster walls, old-growth redwood millwork, rolling slat benches, and custom shelving bring softness and depth to the space. The large-format terrazzo bar grounds the room, while vintage lighting and natural textures add quiet dimension. Every detail is designed to feel considered but effortless — a place equally suited for weekday dinners, date nights, or a long glass of wine at the bar.

Subtle shifts in ceiling height and smart space planning allow the small footprint to function as comfortably as it looks, with flexible seating and thoughtful flow throughout.
