Sansa Interiors Inc. designs a fresh new home for the local café chain, Hale Coffee.

Hale Coffee first found their home in the west end of Toronto. Wanting to expand on their success, they decided to create a fourth location at Bloor & Church St. in Toronto—to provide their signature coffee and snacks to this busy Toronto intersection and working professionals. It was important that the look and feel between their locations was cohesive. This new location needed to feel like an extension of their main shop—aligning with their signature eco-friendly, sustainable, and client-first design.

Knowing that sustainable materials and environmentally conscious design were important to our client, we went with a very natural and light-coloured palette—featuring raw woods like unstained red oak throughout the entire design. Our goal was to keep the locations consistent but tried to take it a notch up with the design of the new location. The café is both simple and clean, bringing in an earthy feel, including a beautiful peacock mural design, to complement their services and keep the main focus on fresh-brewed coffee.

All of the small, thought-out details and larger interior design choices came together to create a café that could proudly continue the Hale Coffee brand. Our client was beyond satisfied with the final look, and we know their customers are satisfied too.
