What makes a café feel truly social?
Mokaccino — our latest project in Braintree — explores this through space, atmosphere, and everyday rituals inspired by Italian café culture 🇮🇹
Set within a wider regeneration scheme, the design reimagines a corner unit as an open, welcoming destination.
Key moves:
• Opening the façade to engage directly with the street
• Placing the bar at the centre as a social anchor
• Using bespoke rattan ceiling arches to express identity and rhythm
• Creating a balance between energy and calm throughout the day
From quick morning coffees to slow evening dining, the space is designed to support different ways of gathering.
