Drive-Through Goes Walk-Through

In Designing SFO’s new Amy’s Kiosk INTERSTICE was tasked with translating the Amy’s Drive Through concept that we had developed for Amy’s Flagship Drive-Through restaurant in Corte Madera, into a unique Walk-Through along the main concourse of the new renovation of SFO’s Harvey Milk Terminal. The challenge was to condense the warm and friendly farmhouse kitchen experience into to an interiorized jewel box miniature of this Farm-to-table classic.

Amy’s is a seminal example of California’s healthy fast-food revolution and SFO International wanted to bring it to the airport travelers experience of local cuisine. Moving it indoors and bringing with it, the textures, vernacular energy, and excitement of the Amy’s “Foodie” community into the terminal promenade was our mission. Starting from the iconic imagery, and green driven design, of the home kitchen brand the new kiosk brings live plants in sculptural lights, massive natural live edge redwood counter bars, and innovative sustainable materials – to the already rich pallet of Amy’s all organic, full vegan and all vegetarian food options.

IA brought together the famous iconic graphics, eclectic handmade objects, and in situ hand painted signage, along with the retro-funk 60’s west coast vibe to the thousands of daily visitors to SFO from all over the globe – so they can sample, just by walking through the exceptional hallmark of the Amy’s Drive Through Food Experience!
