About
A narrow and awkward building that is listed as a protected structure. We worked with the client to provide a light and welcoming space within which to display design objects and serve coffee. It has become an iconic institution listed recently In the Financial Times as one of its 30 ‘Best Independent Coffee Shops In The World’.
The Financial Times said of the Galway coffee shop and gallery: “Coffeewerk is a calm, minimalist escape from the cacophony of Celtic knitwear shops and penny whistling. Home to a small gallery showcasing international artists” https://coffeewerkandpress.com/
Key to making this space work as a successfull business was the design and layout of the service area and shelving which has stood thetest of time allowing the business to thrive. It was agreed to use colours only defined by the materials. Old stone was left exposed and Lime plaster used where appropriate to restore the existing, white wash and french oak contrast the steel frames.
