The Velasquez and Van Wezel coffee shop in London recently underwent an expansion into the adjacent retail unit. Our architectural approach focused on enhancing the spatial capacity with additional seating while maintaining the emphasis on the artisan coffee experience. The choice of a minimal plywood interior, combined with an expressive lighting design, draws visual interest from passers-by and highlights its corner location. Our comprehensive architectural services included tailored interior design, lighting design, 3D modelling, coordination with a skilled joiner, and material selection, delivering a thoughtfully designed space for coffee fanatics to enjoy and connect.
