ing, from a restaurant (the Big Yellow House formerly occupied the first and second floors) to office space. Last year, the owners of yoga collective Evolation Yoga, Mark Drost and Zefea Samson, entered negotiations with Franz to open a Summerland location of their yoga collective on the second floor; tenant improvements have been underway ever since. Evolation Yoga has eight other studios across the country, with a dozen or so international locations. The Summerland studio will occupy 2,800 square feet of ocean-view space, with two yoga rooms, men and women’s locker rooms, and a retail/ lobby area. Evolation offers variations on traditional hot yoga classes, as well as flow classes, kids yoga, restorative yoga, and meditation, according to manager Kelleyjane Paradise, who gave us a tour of the not-yet-finished space. The studio was scheduled to open later this month, according to director Nicole Chetaud, but delays in construction may push the opening to early February. Downstairs, work has commenced on a restaurant called Pace (pronounced PAH-chay), named for the Italian word for peace. Owner and chef Sandy Gendel tells us the concept for the eatery is bohemian, artistic, and artisan, featuring locally sourced produce and products, and “house-made everything,” Gendel said. This will be Pace’s second location; Gendel runs the original location in Laurel Canyon in Los Angeles. “I can’t wait for our new home to open,” Gendel told us, adding Summerland will be a great fit for the eatery’s concept. He says he looks forward to spending time away from L.A., where he lives on an urban farm behind the Laurel Canyon eatery. He says he plans on keeping much Full and of Self
the historic woodwork and architectural details of the Big Yellow House, including the “stairs to nowhere” in the middle of the dining room. “That’ll be where the bar is located,” Gendel said, adding he hopes to eventually offer a full bar. “I want it to be a place where locals feel welcome and comfortable,” he added. The restaurant, which is expected to open late spring, will serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and will offer takeout and delivery, which the original Pace is widely known for. Gendel says the Summerland Pace will be a casual and organic twist on refined Italian cuisine: think house-made pasta, locally sourced seafood and meats, pizza made with farmers’ market veggies, and more. He plans to also offer a wide selection of local wines, many from Santa Ynez and Santa Barbara County. “I want to keep the memory of the Big Yellow House alive, and I’m looking forward to being part of the community,” Gendel said.

With the new tenants, we’re told the building’s highly visible, iconic sign, is slated to be rebuilt. We’ll have more on both businesses as their openings approach.
