Birichino Cafe` e Cucina
The new fit-out of this cafe’/eatery for ‘Birichino’ is located in inner-city North Fitzroy.
The existing ground floor space has been refurbished with a new central bar surrounded by separate seating areas, which allows for abundant natural light and pedestrian flow from all sides. The refurbishment aims to create a warm and elegant environment, using a simple palette of quality, earthy materials like natural wood, mild steel and ceramics to evoke a Mediterranean inspired feel. Suspended timber shelving delineates the space and allows for the display of goods and greenery.
Existing period features such as pressed-metal ceiling, fireplaces and steel framing have been exposed and restored, to highlight their rustic charm.
What was the brief?
To create a cosy, welcoming space with “atmosphere” to attract new customers.
What were the key challenges?
Circulation and pedestrian flow for staff and patrons in the existing long and narrow space.
What were the solutions?
A central bar area with peripheral seating.
