Seven Seeds

Seven Seeds is an ecologically sustainable roastery and café, built in a former warehouse in inner city Melbourne. Three interlocking but distinct spaces are divided by a plywood and steel window, allowing natural lighting and cooling into the café. Insulated green bean storage is located at the shaded southern end of the building, where stable temperatures are critical. Exposed brickwork, timber trusses and a patchwork of floor slabs create a textured interior. The design is both relaxed and refined, functioning as an example of how sustainable manufacturing and hospitality can work together.
