Raleigh, NC, May 07, 2015 --(PR.com)-- The Raleigh Architecture Company has been commissioned to serve as design architect for Nash Hospitality Group’s “Standard Foods,” an upscale neighborhood market and restaurant planned for the Person Street Plaza retail center in downtown Raleigh.

The Nash Hospitality Group is a partnership between John Holmes of J.T. Hobby & Son real estate and celebrated Chef Scott Crawford, formerly of The Umstead Hotel in Cary. Crawford earned the hotel’s “Herons” restaurant both Forbes’ five-star and AAA five-diamond awards.

Standard Foods will feature its own butcher shop and display cases for fresh meats and fresh fish from the North Carolina coast. According to Chef Crawford, it will be a “modern version of a neighborhood market.”

The restaurant side will feature a 20-seat communal table, room for 60 more, and a long bar.

Ted Van Dyke of New City Design will serve as architect of record for the project. RACo will serve as design architect for the front-of-the-house space (areas open to public view) and the exterior.
