A coffee shop is a place where the day begins, where ideas are exchanged, friendships grow, work gets done, and quiet moments are found between busy schedules. Fairgrounds Bucktown was designed around everyday moments, from the layout and circulation to the material palette and lighting, encouraging customers to stay a little longer and become more familiar with every visit.
The architecture of a coffee shop has the ability to shape all of these experiences long before the first cup is poured. The success of the space relies on the authenticity of the business. Relaying that into the design develops a holistically experience that welcomes and supports its customers. The best coffee shops not only serve the community, they become part of it.
Bringing the warmth and freshness of the West Coast to Chicago, we created a space to start your day with energy. Rich textures and natural charm excite and inspire customers without overwhelming them. Seating offers a variety of ways to gather and work - window seating for independent work, communal tables for collaboration, modular tables that can grow or shrink depending on your day. A successful coffee shop becomes part of its community, not only because of what’s served, but because of the atmosphere that keeps people coming back.
