2024 Canterbury Architecture Awards Winner
Akin
An exercise in offering more with less, both in terms of space and budget, the simplicity of this response belies its thoughtful design. Every inch of space serves a purpose, functional blocks of natural materials form furniture and joinery that invite the patina of everyday use. Pared-back details and warm lighting allow vibrancy to be created by the activities of enjoying food, drinks and conversation. A popular cafe where patrons are happily and tightly packed in to create the vibrant atmosphere many operators can only dream of.
