Coffee Shop With Biophilic Design Project Description
Private Project Request with Sonia CarlsonI would like help re-vamping the look and layout of my coffee shop. This coffee shop was the second location we open in Tanzania in 2015 and needs a new look! Something similar to what we did with the branch in Arusha!

Room Label
My Business/Office I want this room to feel more masculine/feminine/neutral
Neutral What type of sunlight does this room receive?
Mid-day light What do you currently dislike about the room?
At the moment colours don't match and the furniture design is dated. The shop doesn't have a cohesive design like the store in Arusha, we would like to have the same concept or at least similar so there is a tie in between all the shopsWhat pieces of existing furniture, lighting, art or accessories do you want to keep in the design?
For now we would like to keep the counter area. Are you open to changing your wall colors?
Yes Do you have a preference for either paint or wall covering, or are you open to both?
Paint Are you open to changing your floor covering?
Maybe Additional comments to designers
We also have an outside area that we would like to make use of. At the moment the weather is very hot even though its covered and we have fans, so customers only used in the evenings. Do you design outside sitting areas as well?

Business/Office:
Since your room gets plenty of sunlight your color options are quite broad. But because we want to keep it cool, let's go for lighter and fresher white as it'll brighten the space and allow you to use UV blocking curtains.
For your main color, we chose to use white/off-white as it offers a fresh, clean, feel to the space. White and off-white colors are often a favorite for walls because they are light, neutral, and match most color schemes. They are known to make rooms feel more airy and spacious. We are using black or very dark gray on the main entry wall and the ceiling of the work area. If you need backsplash tile in the work area, use a white subway tile with gray grout.
Use a satin finish paint which has a bit more gloss than eggshell finish and is a little smoother. This finish is often used for windows, doors, trim, and ceilings, but can also be ideal walls in kids’ rooms, bathrooms, kitchens and other high-traffic areas because it is easier to clean than eggshell finish.
