About Project

Casa de Montecristo hired TEEL to complete their new DC location. Once an old pizza restaurant, the design team creatively utilized and recycled many of the existing architectural features which lead to a distinctive final product with real character. Customers are able to rent a locker in the custom-made millwork on the 2nd level, or browse from the side lit retail shelves on the ground level.
