A renovation of two existing tenant spaces into a single coffee shop serving the lobby of an office tower in downtown Charlotte, NC. The design takes its cues from large and small scale geometric motifs which occur throughout the 1990's era building, recalling scenes from Stanley Kubrick films. A high contrast palette is pulled in from the lobby to integrate the coffee shop into the larger building context. Warmth and texture are introduced through the use of walnut, cork, chalkboard paint, painted wood, and brass accents.
