Design Development

Merika Cafe host sites in the Middle East and India with a unique menu and relaxed atmosphere. Our work to design their newest location in Melbourne’s east involved consultation and design development with their global team, ensuring that it fit the style and aesthetic of their established brand. We reshaped their layout requirements to fit the site’s unusual hexagonal footprint, utilising all areas to maximise seating and views of the surrounding landscape.
