It's our pleasure because you're our treasure
We playfully blend aesthetics of an old soul, world traveler, and modern sensibilities to help our customers create their own artful sense of home and personal style.
We love small batches and artisanal and know that some things are just classic food staples.
We like to indulge too, with nostalgic items that are just plain delicious, even if they’re a bit unhealthy.
Chef Sylva began her career in Washington, DC, as a private chef and catering manager before relocating to Baltimore to build Culinary Architecture. What began as a pursuit of space and possibility has grown into one of the city’s premier catering companies, known for thoughtful cuisine and impeccable hospitality.
Guided by curiosity, precision, and a deep respect for craft, Sylva creates food meant to bring people together. Her greatest reward is the table itself—where guests gather to eat, laugh, and connect. She leads a team that shares her standards of excellence, professionalism, and joy in the work.
Influenced by a life shaped across Asia, North America, and the Caribbean, and raised among entrepreneurs, artists, and travelers, Sylva’s cooking reflects a global sensibility grounded in warmth and intention. Through Culinary Architecture, she shares these stories and flavors with every experience she creates.
Our official mascot, Josephine has been welcomed by our neighborhood and now we can’t imagine life without her! Stop by our storefront to see Josephine in all her glory.
As your market, we’re teaming up with you, our customer, to create a better planet. While our focus is on selling delicious food, we also work hard to produce less landfill waste, invest in energy-efficient technology, use less packaging, use compostable containers, and up-cycle the containers you already use.
Culinary Architecture is a sustaining member of Good Food Merchants, an organization that aims to celebrate and empower players in the food system who prioritize responsible and authentic food.
We carry a large number of Good Food Foundation SOFI award winning products at Culinary Architecture and are proud to support this cause.
