to design a cozy, durable space

Utilizing sustainable textiles and building materials, the redesigned space explores darker jewel tones as seen in the inspired artwork to create a cozier library mood. The natural wood and woven textures enforce the fresh ingredients used by Marché and up-cycled goods reduce the footprint of this redesign. This cafe aims to make all who enter feel at home while still providing maintainable and cleanable surfaces for employees. The original 1930s cork floor remains in the main seating space and is reflected in the new “cork room” that creates a quieter study space in the east hall. The coffee bar is able to store all necessary drink equipment and foods so that employees have all they need in reach to more efficiently serve their guests.
