Ben's Yard Cafe
Ely, Cambridgeshire
At the conclusion of 2020, we were approached by the proprietors of Ben's Yard to provide design assistance for the café. The estate currently functions as a working farm beyond the retail village, and this aspect served as a profound source of inspiration for our design concepts.
The objective for the café was to craft an industrial-style space that would accentuate the prominence of the blossom tree. To achieve this, the ceiling and walls were meticulously spray painted in a dark charcoal grey, enhancing the ambiance and creating an intimate atmosphere.
For the counter front and display shelving, the team opted for white washed cladding, thus maintaining a cohesive theme throughout the space. Additionally, a drinks shelf with framed log ends was thoughtfully incorporated on the side of the counter, serving as an attractive wall display item.
