The Old Post Office Café

In the old post office on the square, a fine building in Arts and Crafts style with walls of ochre glazed brick and beautiful old doors, the city library opened its doors in the spring of 2021.

The building also has room for The Old Post Office Café: for me a wonderful interior project! The brief was to fit in a bar kitchen and a scullery, and to create as many seats as possible in a lively, city atmosphere where young and old feel at home. The owner wanted to see marble elements in the interior.

I was keen to keep the characteristic brick walls and the old timber doors. They bring so much atmosphere and gave a lovely base to build on! Working with specialists such as a joinery firm, a catering kitchen supplier and a lighting and acoustics expert, the café has become a statement in the city centre.

Besides the interior, I enjoyed helping shape the graphic side: the food and drinks menus, the tableware and the staff uniforms. Details create the picture and the atmosphere as it was meant to be. The Old Post Office Café stands firm!
