The Details
Coffee is often eloquently described by its texture and body. The delectable taste and aroma exude a visceral sensation that many people happily consume on a daily basis. To translate this into an interior space was the brief for McShane.
Obsession with detail and materiality can be seen in the custom venetian plastered walls, quarter cut Victorian Ash timber details, bench seating, custom concrete bench tops with fluted details. The palette and colour story is robust and restrained, taking inspiration from Japanese and Scandinavian minimalism provides an arena for shadow play and negative spaces.
Lava was featured in the June 2021 Issue of Artichoke Magazine.

The Client
Bridget has created a space that is equally everything we’ve ever wanted, and something we never could have even dreamt about. I mean, look how beautiful it is!
The Brief; ‘create the perfect space to share out love for amazing coffee’ She delivered a space that focuses on modern design, good use of natural and tactile materials and with an emphasis on cleanliness and intuitive traffic flow.
We couldn’t be happier, and we can’t wait to make you all a coffee.
