Textus Libri: GRND Coffee est thermopolium coffeae interius designatum intra spatium triginta metrorum quadratorum. Aedificium vetus parietes divisorios infirmos habet, quapropter structura ferrea separata addita est ut involucrum ageret. Involucrum ligno quercino ornatur in forma spinae piscis cum divisoribus orichalcinis. Distantia orichalcina formam repetunt in pavimento terrazzo polito. Superficies marmoreae et insertiones orichalci politi cum elementis industrialibus coniunguntur. Loco mensarum et sellarum solitarum, ordo scamnorum tomentosorum secundum unum parietem currit. Mensae parvae et leves moveri possunt ut cuique hospiti conveniant.

Unique Properties: In order to separate the cafe from the old building weak wall structure, we created a separate steel structure works as an envelope finished with oak wood in a herringbone pattern with brass dividers, echoed by brass spacers in the polished terrazzo floor. To maximize the 30 square metre space, rather than tables and chairs, we provided a row of upholstered benches along one wall accompanied by small, lightweight tables that can be easily moved to suit patrons’ needs.
