Located in the Washington, D.C. Penn Quarter/Chinatown neighborhood, Cranes is the collaborative brainchild of internationally renowned Chef Pepe Moncayo and multidisciplinary architecture and design firm //3877. A restaurant and sake lounge that explores the intersection of Spanish and Japanese cuisines, //3877 was tasked with conceptualizing this new restaurant on-par with Chef Pepe’s international prestige.

Inspired by the compositional beauty and color of Pepe’s culinary creations, as well as the chef’s Spanish and Japanese influences, Crane’s design is defined by its understated yet warm materiality, dark textures, polished metals, dramatic lighting, and sweeping architectural features that double as art installations and wayfinding.
