Micah Coffee Brewers

Rptecture Architects was entrusted with the project of creating a coffee-centric café seeking to enhance the fabric of its suburban pocket. Embracing a ethos of trust and fostering community bonds, we aimed to cultivate a welcoming atmosphere where relationships flourish. Beyond serving exceptional coffee and cuisine, a focus was on providing a clean and inviting space for both staff and customers to gather, connect, and enjoy. Micah Coffee Brewers aspires to be more than just a café but a cherished space for staff and customers alike to enjoy and connect, whilst upholding its commitment to goodwill and community engagement.

Micah Coffee Brewers embodies a pure yet striking approach, where the layout and design celebrates coffee in a distinctive way. The concept centres around the belief that the best way to taste and enjoy coffee is with no distractions, bringing the design back to basics - focusing only on coffee. Incorporating a food theatre concept through a central island benchtop, it encourages customers to interact and take-part visually in the whole process of roasting, brewing, pouring and drinking coffee. Warm lighting illuminates the interiors with timber furnishings to highlight the walls through concealed light strips. The pure, minimalist design is integrated into the scene of daily life, where it naturally invites people to stay, chat and relax. Appreciating the beauty of the surroundings being by the foothills of the Dandenong mountains, minimal green foliage was incorporated into the integrated shelf.
