Architects JIM GRAHAM AND BRETT BABA

the last two years have been huge for 5-year-old Capitol Hill boutique architecture firm Graham Baba Architects. The nationally recognized, multiuse Melrose Market is perhaps the firm’s best-known project, but the seven-member team also has designed and built Capitol Hill’s Eltana Bagels and Skillet Diner, Fremont’s Revel and neighboring bar Quoin, as well as the Kohlstrand Building in Ballard, home to Walrus & Carpenter Oyster Bar and Ethan Stowell’s Staple and Fancy Mercantile. The signature look is sturdy, modern, functional and yet warmly lived in: wood left bare and unpolished, floors of dyed cement, exposed steel beams, warehouse lighting. And Graham Baba is just getting started: At press time, the firm was working on the Fat Hen restaurant in Ballard near Delancey, and The Local Vine at University Village. A.A.S.
