Got Plans: Meet D.C."s most stylish bar designers You may not have heard of Edit, but the two-person design firm has put its stamp on some of D.C."s coolest and best-looking bars, including American Ice Company, the Gibson, Blackbyrd Warehouse, Boundary Stone and Rogue 24. Brian Miller and Lauren Winter, who met while students at the Savannah College of Art and Design, will be our guests on tomorrow's Got Plans? discussion, taking your questions about the bar scene, bar design and anything else you want to ask, beginning at 1 p.m. As a preview, we asked the duo to tell us about some of their favorite work and upcoming projects, including Daikaya, the Japanese izakaya joint that's under construction in Chinatown, and Chez Billy, the forthcoming Petworth restaurant and bar owned by Eric Hilton. Edit has become a sort of unofficial house designer for Hilton's group; they've worked on six of his current spots, with another three underway. Check out their comments and photos after the jump.

Given this extraordinary chance, we're looking to Tokyo for inspiration and letting the building itself serve as a lantern on 6th Street.
