As a fast paced, self serve bakery, a large faction of the brief is awarded to the layout and practicality of the space. The design of Breadtop had to cater for the large influx of people. Accessibility to their products and good visibility to the full length of the shop was paramount in creating a lasting impact on customers. The brief was to create a visually dynamic store to generate interest and sales, whilst maintaining the functionality that everyday operations demanded. To provide its customers with greater comfort and convenience, a dine-in option was created. Seating areas have been designated adjacent to the vision panel to the kitchen, allowing interaction between customers and the bakers.
Inspired by the baking process, the finishes reflect warm, golden tones. Their corporate color, orange, is used in various mediums such as the powder coated aluminum piping along the sills and bulkhead, the orange 2 pac substrate behind the feature wall, powder coated pendant lights and the orange hues emitted from the lighting feature at the rear of the tenancy. The lighting of the store has been designed to highlight the products whilst providing an overall luminance that permeates to the outside of the premises.
