Reforma

Reforma sits at St. Philips Plaza in Tucson, and its entry corner reads as a white, soft-edged mass with a shaped parapet, wall lanterns and deep window openings. The wood front door is set in a thick white surround, under the name of the restaurant.

Along the brick paving, a covered patio runs the length of the building under a tile-edged roof, with slender posts and metal rail panels marking the edge of the outdoor tables. Inside, the mood turns darker: a long bar with lit shelves behind it and a dining room of wood tables under low hanging lamps. The studio was the designer, with Vince Catalano of VVC Design as architect of record and Repp + McClain on interiors.
