The concept for Bestia juxtaposes decorative contemporary elements against a raw, industrial space dripping with character. This approach pays homage to sophisticated modern-day Italian spaces, which often integrate contemporary interiors into centuries-old structures. Strong, traditional building materials such as tile, steel, marble, and wood also provide pops of festive color. The name Bestia (Italian for “Beast”) echoes throughout the space via hard-edged design elements, such as the wall covering’s pattern of bar-fight weapons, intimidating meat-hook chandeliers suspended from soaring steel tracks, and bathroom tile work that reads as unfinished. The repeated use of chevron and hexagonal patterns, tulip pendant lighting, warm amber tones, and airy booth seating help soften the aggressively industrial august space with a bit of whimsy. The distinctive booths engineered and built by District Millworks, feature seats that appear to defy gravity. A raw-copper bar top provides a canvas that will be ever changing throughout its lifetime as it reflects the craft of creating artisanal cocktails.

Chef Neal Fraser’s modern American cuisine is refined yet approachable and highlights the multi-cultural influences of his native city – Los Angeles. Fraser’s menu features seasonal small and large format plates ranging from snacks or “kickshaws” to entrees meant to be enjoyed by the whole table. An extensive cocktail menu by bar men Julian Cox and Tobin Shea features well-balanced, bespoke renditions of the classics. Sommelier Ben Teig’s wine list is eclectic with a focus on Burgundy, Bordeaux, and California, and dedicated to aged and affordable wines – something for everyone.
Located in downtown Los Angeles, Redbird is carved into one of the city’s most historic architectural gems, inside the former rectory building of Vibiana – the cathedral-turned-event-venue also owned and operated by the Frasers and their partners. Designer Robert Weimer and Amy Knoll Fraser created a dynamic space that pays homage to the cathedral next door and the existing timeless architecture by inserting simple modern forms to complement rather than overtake the feel of the rooms. The result is a warm and comfortable considered space.

Church & State is a French bistro, located on the ground floor of the original NABISCO bakery and offices, built in 1925, occupying what was once the loading dock of the National Biscuit Company.

The cuisine is traditional French Bistro fare, created using only seasonal produce of the highest quality, and products from 100% humanely raised, treated, and naturally fed animals: 100% grass-fed, pasture raised beef and lamb, cage-free poultry, sustainable seafood.
Classics include Steak Frites, Escargot, Roasted Marrow Bone, House-made Charcutterie, Moules Frites, Steak Tartar, Tarte Flambeé, and a selection of French and artisanal American cheeses.
The restaurant has a full bar, serving seasonal, hand-crafted cocktails, and an all-French wine list, containing many organic, and biodynamic selections.

In the kitchen, Chef Auriana prepares dishes using fresh, seasonal and locally sourced ingredients. The approachable menu at The Factory Kitchen highlights the simplicity of traditional local recipes. The Factory Kitchen takes its name from the street it’s located on and the complex that hosts it, but the restaurant’s soul is purely Italian.

Today’s world demands balance and a sense of alignment with personal space both at home and at work. Stress, imbalance, and a feeling of disarray not only impede optimal performance in your everyday tasks, but can also have a detrimental impact on your physical, mental, and spiritual health. This, in turn, limits your ability to succeed and create happiness in your life.
Part science and part art, Feng Shui addresses the layout and design of space in a way that permits the most optimal flow of energy within an environment. This in turn brings the environment- be it a home, office, or other type of space -into tune with the needs of its inhabitants. Much more than simply creating a comfortable space through interior design, the sense of personal balance created through Feng Shui allows for greater productivity, creativity, motivation, and positive thinking. Feng Shui targets what has traditionally been known as “Earth Luck” – in other words, the circumstances of your physical surroundings that influence how you think, feel, and behave. Virtually every aspect of your life can be improved when these conditions are in proper order.
