About: Craftwork Coffee Co is a specialty coffee shop and vibrant workspace thriving on the balance of the life and work of a community.
Exterior: The exterior is part of a strip center from another place in time. However, it is strategically placed at the end of the strip providing two fronts. This fortunate position allows for a wall mural sited toward fast-moving cars passing down Camp Bowie Boulevard. The main facade work included exterior glazing, new door and canopy, but retaining the existing rusticated masonry.
Interior: Because the space is designed to be centered around community while combining two differing programmatic elements, we conceived of a linear organizer to achieve this goal. The organizer houses functional pieces of both the coffee shop and the office space. For the coffee area, the organizer houses a serving station and seating along with a visual connection between the two spaces. For the working space, it houses a check-in station, sitting nook, display wall, printer station, and and community table. The office space program includes 10 individual offices, 4 team suite offices that spill out into an open area, and one conference room. Everything from the design to the coffee is crafted with the patron in mind.
