Restraints of the project were maintaining the historic status of the building while effectively allocating space, while understanding how people will experience the building in a new context (think smoke and sound for the roastery). The goal was to maintain seamless functionality of the facility, where we maintain green storage and training in the basement run a full production roastery, coffee bar and bakery on the main floor and house a quality control and cupping lab on the mezzanine level.
