The Brief

A first-time owner needed a café that felt warm and premium, seated 42, and kept the queue, counter and kitchen from colliding at peak hour.

The Constraint

A narrow unit with the entrance, counter and kitchen door all on the same wall — circulation was the whole problem.

The Decision

Split the room into a fast queue lane and a slow seating zone with a low banquette divider, and put the pickup point at the far end so finished orders never cross the queue.

Deliverables

  • Seating & circulation plan
  • Interior renders (day & evening)
  • Counter & joinery drawings
  • Material & lighting palette

Result

Layout and palette approved as a complete study pack for the owner's fit-out contractor.
