A new espresso bar on Caledonian Road for Conscious Speciality Coffee to showcase their roasts and provide a direct-to-customer retail space.
The awkward room shape encouraged a simple layout centred on an end-grain douglas-fir counter, which provides a point of difference from the lightweight frames, shelves and seating. The counter takes references from butcher blocks and baking trays - a sunken stainless steel insert sits below the countertop to hold the mess created by high-volume coffee making.
Moments of stainless steel sit alongside bright stained timber and continue the restained palette throughout the rest of the fitted furniture.
