Hospitality firm Das Architects to design Fogo de Chão restaurant in historic widener building in Philadelphia.
PHILADELPHIA, December, 2006 – Fogo de Chão, a churrascaria with locations in São Paulo and Belo Horizonte, Brazil, and six venues in the United States, including Dallas and Beverly Hills, is opening a Philadelphia location, and has selected DAS Architects to design it. Philadelphia’s historic Widener Building, located in the center of the city at Chestnut and Juniper streets near Philadelphia City Hall and the former location of J.E. Caldwell & Co., is the location for Fogo de Chão in Philadelphia. Founded by brothers Jair and Arri Coser, born in Rio Grande do Sul in Southern Brazil, the highly-acclaimed restaurant is centered on the three centuries-old Gaucho culinary tradition, called churrasco, of roasting meats over barbeque pits of open fire. Gaucho chefs at Fogo de Chão (pronounced fo-go dèe shoun) slow roast the meats over open flames, and present them on skewers where they are then carved tableside.

PHILADELPHIA, May 2006 – Restaurant owner Wolfgang Zwiener, the former 40+-year-veteran head waiter at famed Peter Luger Steak House in Brooklyn, will soon open his second Wolfgang’s Steakhouse in New York, and the firm behind the design is DAS Architects of Philadelphia.

The custom-designed mosaic tiles will be created and installed by an artist from Israel. The restaurant design will also reflect elements of its Tribeca neighborhood. DAS, a leading hospitality design company, whose resume includes more than 100 unique restaurant projects, is led by the award-winning architecture-design team of David A. Schultz, AIA and Susan A. Davidson, IDC. Wolfgang’s Steakhouse is the first New York City venture for DAS.
