Stolarczyk Residence and Pistacia Vera Pastry Kitchen Completed

JBAD continues to make a mark on Columbus with two recently
completed projects: Pistacia Vera Pastry Kitchen and Michael and
Pamela Stolarczyk’s home.

Pistacia Vera

When the owners of Pistacia Vera decided to move their sweet shop
from the Short North to German Village they chose JBAD to renovate a 120 year old house into a new artisan pastry kitchen and retail/
display area. The shell of the building was preserved while the original structure was dramatically altered, including the removal of most of
the second floor to create an open two-storey space and mezzanine.
A limited but rich materials palette expresses the simple and authentic, but sophisticated, tastes of the owners and their merchandise. The
renovation strikes a balance between the historic and the new, main-
taining the patina of the original building and creating a modern, mini-
malist and clean interior environment.

Stolarczyk Residence

Michael and Pamela Stolarczyk’s 1960’s era International Style house
was an anomaly in their suburban neighborhood, so when they called
on JBAD to design an addition they were faced with a choice of
creating contrast or continuation with the original structure. Since the
original architecture had endurance and relevance, the addition was
designed to create a subtle and seamless continuity with the house as
a right-angle wing framing the rear yard and main entry. The new wing holds two kids’ bedrooms and a bath, organized along a corridor that
connects and aligns with the house’s existing circulation. Efficiency
and minimalism guided the design and reinforced the relevance and
value of the classic modern architecture for a 21st century, design-
conscious family.
