Marie Gabrielle Restaurant and Gardens is located in the lobby of the Centex Building in the International Center

Needing to give the restaurant casual and fine dining options, GDA designed the 8,000 square foot space to incorporate a convenient express food line for the rushed lunch crowd and a separate fine-dining area set off by iron screens and elk hide

The restaurant is accented by a floor to ceiling glass wall that overlooks the International Center's expansive 1.5 acre European-style gardens and reflecting pool

The Venetian-plaster and travertine limestone finish materials with dark brown metal wall sculptures and candle holders add to the relaxing atmosphere
