FELIX: Transforming a Laundromat into a Stylish Coffee Shop in Santiago

#CoffeeBar #coffeeshopambience #SustainableDesign
FELIX is a small specialty coffee shop in Providencia, Santiago. The shop is located in a staggered space that for the last 30 years had been used as a laundromat.

After emptying the space —exposing both levels of the shop— we projected a single piece of furniture, a semi-transparent metal shelf to organize the space. This shelf serves both as storage space, a visual separator between the public area and the kitchen, as well as the coffee bar. The counter, also in blue metal, has a detachable section that is designed to fit perfectly in the access door, enabling it to operate as a window shop when needed.
