The Curious Palate – Santa Monica
Santa Monica Place, the Market, 3rd Floor, Santa Monica, California
I wanted this space to be light and airy, inviting and warm… contemporary yet comfortable. Concept, design and woodwork by Stephan Roggenbuck, Bauwerkgreen
All wood is reclaimed Douglas Fir, all finishes natural and organic oils. I felt that a beautiful curved suffet and counter top would create a sensuous invitation to the space, while the floating douglas fir panels would bring a warmth and comfort to the eating area… and indeed they do!
The glass shelves are discreetly inserted into the Douglas Fir wall panel and bring the eye up to the clear plexiglass ceiling which gives the space a lofty height. The Italian blue glass tiles bring a sparkling sense of calm.
Such a joy to create this space for restaurant owners Mark and Elliot.

The Curious Palate – Mar Vista
A deli cafe with excellent fresh, organic food bought from local farmers’ markets.
Owners Elliot and Mark wanted a rustic look for their new restaurant. Looking at it in its original state as a fast food taco joint, I imagined opening up the flat, wide ceiling. This created a perfect open and airy feeling.
I used reclaimed douglas fir as a repeating element for the chalk board, the tables, the cash register and the community table in the patio dining area.
These are made of reclaimed 17 foot long Douglas Fir beams. The lighter stripe in the middle from the restaurant table tops are new FSC certified Doug Fir, this I added as a design element. All wood is finished with natural oil.

Spiral Playhouse
A family in Venice asked me if I could build a play structure for their children. Inspired by my Waldorf background, I created a spiral form that would keep the children
mesmerized. The ground area features a secret sand play area and the bent wood steps lead to a round house in the trees surrounded by rope and unusual hiding places.
The house is based on 12 round poles . To protect them against moisture, I burned the lower part that is in the ground and created a coal patina. The roof is a flower blossom.
The wood is FSC Certified Pine, Plywood and Cedar.

Floating Desk
The Challenge was to create a desk without any legs. I remembered from my architecture studies in Germany how torque works. I used that knowledge and anchored the desk in the wall.
It extends from the wall out to 7 feet into the room and is able to support any body weight on the end. Material is wheat board, structural support metal and High pressure laminate (indoor air certified)
