The brief was twofold: update the existing Koffee Pot for a modern audience, and reconfigure the space to accommodate a second business, Birria Bros tacos, operating from the same site in the evenings. Two identities, one space, both needing to feel resolved.

The scheme draws on two parallel references - the British greasy spoon and the retro taquerías of Mexico - traditions that share a visual language of checkerboard floors, vinyl banquettes and marble surfaces. Pattern, colour and varied seating styles bring the playfulness the venue is known for, set against hard-wearing materials chosen to absorb daily use without showing it.

We phased the works to minimise closure of the existing business, with a focus on maximising every pound of the client's investment.
