01

The brief

A small corner site with one great asset: a big window onto a street tree. We gave the window to customers with a long timber bench, turned the counter so the barista faces the room, and kept the queue clear of the door.

02

The key decision

  1. i.

    Durable by default

    Oiled hardwood that can be sanded back, a cement-based terrazzo counter top, and stools that stack for cleaning.
