Corporate Member Project Spotlight: Pigott

St. Kilda Collective | 2020 | Valley Junction -West Des Moines, IA

Nestled in the historic Valley Junction district of West Des Moines, Iowa, St. Kilda Collective sits in an early 20th-century building as the cornerstone location and bakery serving six restaurants currently under the St. Kilda Cafe and Franka Pizza brands in the Des Moines metro area.

Diane Rasmussen and the team at Pigott partnered with the owner and Substance Architecture to select and specify Knoll Muuto seating and lighting products as a key component of the modern aesthetic and spacious hospitality that are hallmarks of the restaurant brand.  

Pigott has worked with the owner over the past five years to help bring all of the St. Kilda & Franka restaurant projects to life, partnering with several local firms including Knop Architects (Franka Clive, St. Kilda Clive), Neumann Monson (Franka East Village), and HTA Studio (St. Kilda Temple).
