Pink Carrot is a locally founded café known for its fast-casual approach and commitment to fresh and healthy living. Originally rooted in Boston’s North End, the Chestnut Hill location marks the brand’s first step toward expansion.

This project is a tenant fit-out located on the lower, street-accessible level of The Street shopping mall. Despite being partially below grade with only one source of natural light, the design aims to balance the demands of high-volume takeout while providing a cozy, community-focused dine-in experience.

The layout is gently divided by a central island, establishing two distinct flows upon entry: takeout customers can quickly locate their orders on the designated pickup shelf to the left, supported by an efficient back-of-house packing and loading path. Meanwhile, dine-in guests proceed to order and circulate toward the right side, where varied seating options invite guests to relax in a softly lit, well-crafted space, separate from the bustling pickup activity.

From early location scouting through final opening, I’m fortunate to help bring Pink Carrot’s vision to life in this new chapter.
