About GRND Coffee Te Mahi Matua: Te Hoahoa Rotopū Kawhe

GRND Coffee he hoahoa rotopū kawhe i hoahoatia i roto i tētahi wāhi 30 mita pūrua te rahi. He ngoikore ngā pakitara wehewehe o te whare tawhito, nō reira i tāpirihia he anga rino motuhake hei tākai. Ka whakaotia te anga ki te rākau ōki i runga i te tauira ānga-ika me ngā wehewehe parāhi. Ka whakahoki ngā tūāpapa parāhi i te tauira i te papa terazo whakakanapa. Ka whakakotahitia ngā mata mābera me ngā whakaurunga parāhi whakakanapa ki ngā āhuatanga ahumahi. Hei whakakapi i ngā tēpu me ngā tūru paerewa, ka rere he rārangi o ngā nohonga whakauwhiuwhi i te taha o tētahi pakitara. Ka taea te neke i ngā tēpu iti, māmā kia hāngai ki ia manuhiri.

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.
