Conceived as a coffee shop that invites customers into the coffee-making experience, patrons enter into a warm, nordic-inspired environment with hickory floors and cafe style seating. The central space serves as an “occupiable threshold” with an open-faced bar, reeded glass wall, and floating textile-wrapped panels where baristas and patrons engage. Further back are spaces designed for larger groups and children. As a designed experience, formal architectural elements are juxtaposed with soft forms, colors, and materials.
