MINOR PROJECT / FINAL YEAR

MINIMALIST CAFE DESIGN / FINAL YEAR
Advertisement
The purpose of this project was to rejuvenate an existing derelict cafe located on the edge of River Trent, being explored by a brand looking to expand their business within Nottingham. The project encompasses the feel of the client’s minimalist design which exists in the original cafe. The primary footfall of the site consists of walkers and cyclists, therefore the accessibility of the design is vital, allowing a dog friendly interior as well as external bike storage. The design provides employees with a versatile space which can be transformed in the summer months in order to utilise the outdoor space. This was achieved through designing a bi-folding door system which allows for the river-facing side of the structure to be almost entirely opened up, creating and indoor-outdoor space.
