The challenge

A premium coffee bar that fits a strict corporate headquarters and handles high volume.

The approach

Workflow first. A blueprint shaped by every barista movement and the customer's path.

The result

Built true to the 3D model, and serving employees every day.

What I made

  • Spatial blueprint
  • Barista workflow plan
  • Concept board
  • 3D model
  • Texturing and lighting
  • Build visualisations

The process

  1. The empty corporate space before the build, with bare walls and tiled floor

    The space

    An empty corner of a corporate headquarters, and phase one of the brand's rollout.

  2. Blueprint showing the barista workflow cycle and the customer path from ordering to pickup

    The workflow

    Planned with an engineer and a coffee operations specialist around every barista movement.

  3. Concept board with the kiosk layout, modular structure and material references

    The concept

    Layout, structure and materials on one board, premium without shouting.

  4. The bar being modeled in 3D software

    The 3D model

    Modeled, textured and lit, so everyone saw the bar before anything was built.

  5. Render of the Nava Brew bar with warm lighting across the fluted counter

    The render

    The final visualisation the build team worked from.

  6. Photo of the finished Nava Brew bar with an espresso machine, menu board and hanging greenery

    The bar

    Built true to the blueprint, and working in a busy corporate setting.
