Space + Capacity

On a quiet street, off the beaten track in downtown Toronto,
Steven Fong Architect collaborated with design entrepreneur
Lorne Gertner to turn a small gap between two converted
warehouse buildings into a coffee shop and showroom. A
repurposed shipping container houses the walk-up barista
station, with both street-side and interior counters.
Throughout the 330sf space, custom-fabricated and
appropriated metal shelving holds an ever-changing
collection of staple merchandise, one-off curiosities and
accessories.
