Architecture Firm Designs Five New Restaurants inOrganizations New England and Event Boston – RODE Architects announced five new hospitality projects, showcasing modern interior design trends for restaurants in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. “These new restaurant projects reflect the tone and character of each location and, in several cases, represent expansions or re-openings of establishments impacted by the pandemic,” said Jessica Haley, principal and director of interior design for RODE. “We’re thrilled to collaborate with innovative developers to unveil modern interior design concepts for the hospitality industry in Southern New England, bringing our clients’ visions to life and creating welcoming spaces that will be enjoyed by residents and visitors alike.” Mother Pizzeria, RODE’s first restaurant project in Rhode Island, opened in July at 49 Long Wharf Mall in Newport. Designed with tin tile ceiling and a blackand-white marble bar that serves as the focal point of the space, the traditional yet modern pizzeria offers 112 seats, including counter seating and high tops for a slice on the go or a quick cocktail, with a deluxe Neapolitan-style brick pizza oven. Mother Pizzeria incorporates mixtures of light and dark warm wood tones and a play on a classic tile floor pattern throughout the restaurant.
264 E. Berkeley St. in Boston. With a bright Mediterranean vibe, fun geometric elements and a built-in serpentine booth, Baleia will feature an upscale copperchain “net” that evokes a Mediterranean fishing aesthetic. The design includes a 14-seat bar plus counter-height seating around a “tree island” to create a cozy feel.

Gufo, a modern take on the classic casual, laid-back Italian dining experience, opened in early August at the site of the former Loyal Nine at 660 Cambridge St. in Cambridge. A relocated entrance will provide visitors with direct access to a cafe-style space with espresso, coffee, and a pizza oven, then onto the main dining space with an expanded bar, or to a three-season porch. The flexible layout and semi-private dining nook will be suitable for events. Bueno Malo, a casual Mexi-Cali restaurant at 93 Main St. in Andover,
Mass., opened its first phase in the spring (Second-phase plans are to be determined.).
