Delightful Dining For Our Community
How do you build a large-scale yet intimate dining establishment that nestles against the picturesque San Gabriel River? For one, you want to ensure what you’re building is an organic facet of the river’s topography. We did just that—diners can eat in splendor at El Monumento Restaurant thanks to our efforts to make the restaurant a unique feature of the river that still feels cohesive to the landscape.
The Details
A 7,200 square foot restaurant is no simple feat, especially when it’s exterior (its location is along the San Gabriel River) is as pivotal as its interior. We collaborated with the celebrated architecture firm Overland Partners to create a wholly unique riverfront dining experience for patrons. Large, intimate, interesting, organic—these are all details we needed to execute while building El Monumento.
