The main concept was to rejuvenate a former dyeing factory, without touching the existing architecture. The designers added two white boxes connecting the tow floors of the building, and containing the main features of the brand. The first box connects the ground floor – with the bar and the roasting room – with the second floor, hosting the academy and office spaces. Another independent box was placed in the bakery’s kitchen.
