About FOODSMITH - FireWood Oven & Grill FireWood Oven & Grill Restaurant
FoodSmith is a firewood oven and grill restaurant located in Amman, Jordan. The interior covers 150 square metres on the ground floor, while the kitchen and service areas occupy 70 square metres upstairs. The design recalls an old blacksmith workshop and is built almost entirely from reclaimed and recycled materials, including lumber, copper piping and cement brick tiles. Every plank, pipe and brick was planned through detailed construction drawings. The result appears informal, yet each element is carefully arranged.

- Production Technology
- Mostly Reclaimed Materials: Lumber wood, Coper pipes, cement bricks, etc...
- Design Challenge
- The challenge here was to reincarnate all the reclaimed material to produce something not only functional, but pleasing and enticing as well.
- Project Duration
- Project Concept Design Started in January 2014 and Finished Site was handed over in July 2014
- Operation Flow
- People are constantly struck by the ambiance and cannot believe that this restaurant decor was made almost entirely from waste products and reclaimed materials. Needless to say, the photos don't do the place enough Justice.
- Research
- Recycled and reclaimed materials that were gathered were namely: Copper piping, cement brick tiles, and lots and lots of reclaimed wood in different shapes and sizes. The concepts were then designed as clusters by the Architect and computer visualization software was used to visualize the ideas and provide a step-by-step building reference for the builders on site.
Though the final design seems orderly chaotic in nature, every brick, plank and pipe was carefully orchestrated and manifested through detailed construction drawings. - Inspiration
- Wanted to go as "green" as possible in this project by creating the main design elements from reclaimed and recycled materials.
