A light-filled café transformation of a former industrial storage room, featuring a cantilevered awning and preserved historical elements, awarded 2016 Cafe of the Year by Concrete Playground.
Winner of the 2016 Cafe of the year from Concrete Playground.
Our studio was engaged to create a concept café in a dark and enclosed industrial storage room. Our solution was to bust open the roof, creating a light-filled space. A huge, steel, cantilevered awning provides dappled light across the polished concrete and bluestone floor. The interior design has kept aspects of the venue’s manufacturing history; bare stone walls and milled railway sleepers remain intact. A leafy courtyard breathes life into the industrial space.
A local Sydney artist was commissioned to create an artwork for the wall which speaks to the buildings previous tenants a stocking manufacturer who believed, like we do, that quality is woven into every thread.
Listed as one of Sydney's best new Interiors of 2016 by Broadsheet Sydney.
"...a light-filled space where tenants and locals can mingle over coffee "
