Outcome
Designed with the flair of classic European cafes in mind, Vendome stayed true to its status as one of Calgary’s most cherished dining locations and its historic 1912 bones while elevating its charm and warmth.
The Vendome Block’s pre-existing brick walls, traditional moldings, and original hardwood floors were preserved while other details of the space were updated, such as the counter seating and kitchen pass, to create a residential quality making guests feel more at home.
