“It’s hard not to feel that sense of youthful nostalgia walking into Backyard Bowls…” -Brant Cox, The Infatuation

Classic life guard towers of the Southern California coastline cue the atmosphere for this restaurant chain that serves healthy and picture-perfect compilations of fruit + grains. A practical sound problem was tackled by the creation of the “blending chamber” that taps into surf shack iconography. Bold blocks of color swath the space between crisp, clean lines and vintage utilitarian camp with imagery mixed in encouraging customers to explore the wilderness in their own backyards.
