Twenty-eight seat café on Limuru Road, Ruaka
The brief
A first-time café owner with a bare shell unit and a clear idea: Kenyan coffee, Kenyan art, no plastic chairs. The banquette seats more people per metre than loose chairs, and the slat ceiling softens the echo that empty shells always have.
Scope of work
- Layout for 28 covers with a service counter and a small kitchen pass
- Timber slat ceiling with pendant lights over the tables
- Banquette seating along one wall in green leatherette

Materials
- Cypress slat ceiling, clear sealed
