POLANCO

Sacramento

9,200 sq ft

Inspired by and named after a thriving district in Mexico City, Polanco celebrates Mexico’s cuisine and thriving art scene. The space is on the second level overlooking Downtown Commons (DOCO) - 50 feet across the plaza from the new DOCO Arena where the Sacramento Kings play. We decided early on to make the entire restaurant open up on two sides giving the dining room and patio a connected indoor / outdoor feel. The client commissioned Senkoe, the renowned mural artist from Mexico City. Senkoe painted a mural across an 80 foot stretch of wall that can be seen by the 20,000 people below in the plaza waiting to enter the arena. We designed all the decorative lighting, tables, tiles and mirrors and had it all fabricated in a small town outside of Guadalajara. All graphics were done by the incredible folks at Idea Cooperative in Petaluma, CA.
