Bethel - Cafe

What happens when the walls come down? A complete transformation. These old parts of the building were dark, narrow, and closed in with unappealing hallways and unused spaces. The secondary staircase and small closets were not necessary nor functional. Overall, it felt uninviting and crowded. The goal was to create a sociable area to accommodate a coffee bar with tables, seating, and a lounge zone. After the initial demo, the layout changed dramatically. The big open space allowed for a small coffee bar and tables with seating. The empty corner turned into a comfortable lounge area. Even the hallways transform into additional conversational spots with folding wall tables. The result is astonishing: a bright and spacious area where people can enjoy each other's company with a good cup of coffee.
