Purple Llama wanted to create a space that seamlessly celebrated both coffee and music, and it needed an open-minded architecture firm to help their vision come to life. Keeping this free-flow idea in mind, the design team floated the main coffee bar in the middle of the shop, while a fluid wooden wall visually leads visitors from the front entrance towards the record vault in the back. As a result, customers feel drawn in and encouraged to share in the Llama’s eclectic taste.

"Lovers of either {music and drinks} may find the best of both worlds in a unique space"
