Job Description

VESPERTINE is the vision of Chef Jordan Khan. A perceptual and cognitive experience, where deliciousness is driven by form and texture is crafted into sculpture. Blurring interrelationships between materials and ideas, environment and context, of sound and dissonance. The project was conceived as a result of the building in which it resides: the architectural phenomenon known as “The Waffle.” Designed by world-renowned architect Eric Owen Moss, The Waffle is a two-story structure, separated into four levels of which there are no traditional walls supporting the building. Instead, the building is wrapped by an architectural skin — a curtain of undulating steel and glass. The intimate, 40-seat dining room sets the stage for an enigmatic dining experience.
