With its design origins firmly steeped in that of a traditional corner  store, this building required a contemporary fit-out to create a cafe  in line with the owner’s brief. Its location informed both the interiors and the branding, while Doherty Lynch gave considerable  focus to creating a modern corner shop identity. A narrow, rectangular shape, the brief was to create a bright, busy interior with clear  circulation paths. Doherty Lynch has used plywood and black joinery to  create a strong contrast and to highlight the forms in the design. Bright-coloured acrylic boxes, colourful upholstery and the furniture  itself are used to create interest and to create a busy feel in the  space. A large communal ply table was designed specifically for the  cafe and runs parallel with an unusually shaped counter.
