The Rose Tattoo Restaurant Redesign

Rose Tattoo redesign features new bar by Rocco Design + Build

The Rose Tattoo is a Philadelphia restaurant located in an iconic Victorian building originally built in 1850. Several years ago, heavy rains led to the partial collapse of the roof and extensive water damage on all three floors. The columns from the original bar were just about to be thrown away when our team was lucky enough to step in and salvage them.

The tin ceiling is original but, in the areas that needed replacing, we managed to seamlessly weave in the new sections; it looks uniform! The bar top is Carrera marble, which contrasts nicely against the rich wood detail and vintage-style pendant lamps. We also refinished the original wood floors and re-purposed former church pews to provide eclectic seating in the second-floor dining room.

Gimmee! Coffee Redesign

As a reward for having weathered the pandemic, Ithaca-based coffee shop Gimme! Coffee, is brewing up a whole menu of welcome design changes for their State Street location. RDB designed, and is currency fabricating, custom curved “floating” wood countertops, benches, stools, and other furniture elements, the second phase of a larger renovation to enhance the in-person experience of this beloved cafe. Earlier in the year, RDB bored picture-window openings in the location’s center wall, helping to double the cafe’s seating capacity.

Bike Bar Build Out

The owner of Old Goat Gear Exchange, a beloved outdoor and sports apparel shop in downtown Ithaca, wanted his next business to blend his love of cycling and sports with another one of his passions: craft brews. Bike Bar is peppered with cycling-themed materials and featured a bar top with inlaid bike gears. Rocco Design + Build demo'd the space, built custom cabinetry, shelving, and furniture using salvaged and reclaimed wood.
