Little Café

Completed 2014

Interior Fit Out.

Clever use of a slim space resulted in an unconventional café layout in what was previously the foyer of Lower Hutt's Little Theatre.

To make the most efficient use of the narrow dimensions, the design moved away from the usual approach of counter service. The service bench and counter were placed against the main wall and the space in front is shared between customers and staff. This allows for more seating and ease of movement.

Custom made joinery was designed to display food and house café equipment in an inviting manner, reflecting the relaxed atmosphere of this daytime café.
