Merika Cafe & Restaurant
Location: Eltham, VIC
Completed: 2023.05
Site: Local cafe/restaurant in Melbourne’s outer east
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. Key design elements take centre stage while the form and functionality blend seamlessly to create an inviting space. Curved lines of the joinery and ceiling features echo their branding elements and foliage blending spaces from indoor to out.
