The brief

A 2,400 sq ft café across three halls, two private and one common, with a kitchen and reception.

Our response

A tropical, minimal mood built from earthy, rustic finishes. We designed the building's elevation as well as its interiors, so the café reads as one idea inside and out.

Warm, grounded, made for staying a little longer.

Drawn first.

The elevation was drawn alongside the interior rather than after it, so the façade carries the same tropical, grounded reading as the halls behind it. These are the renders and the drawing the build followed.
