The interior fitout for this popular Wellington café takes a practical approach to the constrained floor plate, and is a direct response to the site and existing building.
Located in a sunny sheltered area of Wellington’s CBD, the interiors open to outside dining space adjacent to a public pocket park, providing an active edge that draws customers in.
A light, open seating area is arranged along the northern edge, with entry from Lombard Lane. Presentation and food service counters run parallel to the seating area, with commercial kitchen behind.
Finishes are functional and durable with tiled service area walls and counter fronts, polished concrete floors, natural timber acoustic ceilings and open black steel shelving responding to the exposed steel frame of the building.
Furniture is natural timber and black steel, continuing the theme. Electric blue banquette seating at the western end of the seating area provides a contrasting highlight.
