A corner shop glazed on its south and west sides, with the entrance on the corner. A curved, fluted bar sits to the north-east; three modular espresso machines are mounted directly on it, facing the baristas. Behind are a tiled wall, black steel shelves, two grinders and batch brewers. A bench runs along the west glass, a high counter along the south glass, and a communal table stands in the middle. The material language is kept to limewash, oak, tile and black steel details.
This is not a built project or a real client commission; it is a fictional concept study.

Corner
The entrance sits on the corner; the south and west façades are glazed. Daylight enters from two sides and the room opens to the street.
- 02
Curved bar
The bar to the north-east is a fluted plaster surface that bends in one movement. It gathers people around it and hides the service area behind.

Espresso machines
Three modular espresso machines are mounted directly on the bar, their group heads facing the baristas. Preparation happens on the counter, in plain view; the back counter is given over to grinders and batch brew.

Material
Limewash, oak, tile and black steel: warm, matte surfaces, with chrome kept to the machines.
